In checkers, you cannot directly "kill" a king piece as you would a regular piece. Instead, you must jump over it with one of your pieces, landing on an empty square immediately beyond the king. This captures the king, removing it from the board. It's important to note that capturing is mandatory when possible, so if you have a legal jump over a king, you must take it.

The 'flying king' rule is part of the international ruleset for draughts, but does not exist in the English Draughts ruleset, which is also known and played as American Checkers. So it depends which country you are in, and which rules variant you use.

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.
