Seven (7) choices offer themselves to the player on the first move in checkers. Specifically, each ordinary piece moves on square at a time forward along the diagonals to an unoccupied square. Only four of a player's 12 playing pieces therefore can move at the start of a game. One of the pieces has only one move possible. Each of the other three pieces has two moves each to choose from as the beginning action in the game.

There are 20 possible first moves for each player. Some are certainly better than others. There are eight pawns, and on its first move a pawn can be moved either one or two spaces forward. That's 16 possible moves. In addition, each of the knights has two possible moves, and that accounts for the other 4 moves.
