Can you eat backwards in draughts?

Well, technically, in draughts (or checkers as some people call it), you can move your pieces backwards if you're a king. So, if you manage to get your piece to the back row of your opponent's side, it can then move both forwards and backwards. But let's be real, who's actually gonna eat their opponent's pieces backwards? It's all about strategizing and outsmarting your opponent, not chowing down on their checkers.

Can a king jump his own checkers?

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.
