In checkers, a king can move any number of squares diagonally forward or backward, as long as the path is unobstructed. This gives the king greater mobility compared to a regular piece, which can only move forward diagonally. Additionally, a king can jump over an opponent's piece to capture it, similar to regular pieces, but it can do so in both directions.
he can move only one square per turn, but he can go backward

In checkers, a king can move multiple times in a single turn, but only if it captures opposing pieces on each move. If you have two available captures, you can move the king to each position consecutively, as long as the destination squares are valid and the moves result in captures. If there are no captures available, the king can only move once per turn.
No, the rules of checkers do not allow a king to double jump on the same move. A double jump refers to making the jump twice in one move. The rules call for one movement per turn.
In the game of checkers, a king is allowed to jump over its own checkers. Kings have more freedom of movement compared to regular checkers, as they can move both forward and backward. When a king jumps over an opponent's checker, it can continue jumping over multiple checkers in a single turn, regardless of whether they are its own or the opponent's. This ability to jump over its own checkers adds a strategic element to the game, allowing players to plan more complex moves.
