No, in checkers, a queen (or king) can only move diagonally forward or backward, but it cannot "eat" (capture) pieces backward. Capturing is done by jumping over an opponent's piece, and this can occur in any diagonal direction, including backward, but the actual movement of the queen remains diagonal only. Thus, while a queen can move backwards, it cannot capture pieces in that direction.
