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.
