In checkers, a king can only jump over an opponent's single checker that is adjacent to it, landing in an empty space immediately beyond that checker. It cannot jump over two checkers side by side in a single move. Each jump must follow the rule of jumping over one opponent's piece at a time, landing in an empty square. Therefore, a king cannot jump two checkers side by side in one move.
yes
When you jump over two pieces of your opponent's. You stand up and show them your rear. That's the "rainbow" move in checkers.
In checkers, a king can capture multiple pieces in a single turn by jumping over them, but it can only do so if there are consecutive jumps available. Once a king captures an opponent's piece, it can continue to jump and capture additional pieces if they are positioned correctly. However, a king cannot eat "double" in the sense of capturing two pieces in a single jump; each jump must involve a separate piece. The only limit is that a player must make all possible captures during their turn.
A checker is promoted to a king when it moves to the other end of the board. A king is usually distinguished from the other pieces by stacking two checkers. As per international rules, a king can travel any number of squares in a diagonal.

Richard Nixon had two dogs during his presidency: a Cocker Spaniel named Checkers and a Irish Setter named King Timahoe.
In the game of checkers, you can only capture one opponent's piece during a single jump. However, if you are able to perform a series of jumps in one turn, you can capture multiple pieces in succession. Each jump must follow the rules of capturing an opponent's piece directly in front of your own, landing in an empty square immediately following it. So, while you can't directly eat two checkers in one jump, you can capture more than one if the conditions allow.
No, in checkers, a king cannot be split into two pieces. A king is a single piece that gains additional movement abilities once a regular piece reaches the opposite end of the board. It remains one entity throughout the game, and there are no rules allowing for the division of any pieces.
