What is the difference between a normal piece and a queen in checkers?

How many choices do you have for the first move in checkers?

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 numbers from 1 to n. they have to be inverted as n to 1 . How many moves are required if only two consecutive numbers are stampled at a time?

There are (n2 - n) / 2 moves required.I am not aware that "stampled" is a word beyond a cross between stampede and trample, but I believe you wish to reverse the order of numbers from 1 to n where only two consecutive numbers can be swapped per step.This process will show a pattern of triangular numbers. For example:Let us suppose there are 3 numbers 1,2,3: To move the last (highest) number to the first place requires 2 steps. The second highest number is now in the last place. To move it to the second place requires 1 step. Finished. Total = 3 steps.Or:If there are 4 numbers, i.e. 1,2,3,4:3 steps + 2 steps + 1 step = 6 steps total. We know it is only 3 steps more than the last example because once we have moved the 4 to the first place we then simply have to do the above again (rearrange the 1,2,3, to 3,2,1).So you can see that the number of steps are all triangular numbers.A triangular number is calculated by n(n+1) / 2. So we can use this formula, but we need to alter it because the number of steps are for the previous triangular number. E.g. Where there are 4 numbers we have to do 1+2+3 steps to reorder it (see above).Therefore if we make our formula (n - 1) n / 2 = (n2 - n) / 2 then this will work.

Are you allowed to jump kings in draughts?

Yes: both other kings and uncrowned pieces can jump and remove the opponent's kings from the board. The only difference in ruling is that the smaller uncrowned piece cannot move backwards to do so; whereas kings can move or take in any direction.In fact, if the smaller piece does not take a king that is available for 'the taking', he may be removed or "huffed" from the board for 'not taking'.Whether you are a small piece or a king, you are required to take any adjacent piece that could be jumped. That is a fundamental rule for draughts, and can be used as a basic 'given' in the strategy of play in that game.


What is the chess tactic known as a pin?

For example the king is under check from a bishop. The player with the king in check decides to move a piece to block the bishop. After that piece steps into the line between the king and the bishop, that piece cannot move until either the bishop moves to a different location or the king moves to a different location.
