Checkers

Around 1890 is an approximate date regarding the invention of Chinese checkers. The game is neither Chinese nor a form of checkers. Instead, it was invented in Germany. It is based on the game of halma, which was invented in the United States of America around 1883.

There are 64 single squares, but if you include every square that can possibly be made, there are 204:

1 8x8 square

4 7x7 squares

9 6x6 squares

16 5x5 squares

25 4x4 squares

36 3x3 squares

49 2x2 squares

64 1x1 squares

Chess is commonly believed to have originated in northwest India in the 6th century.

While the game of Checkers, or Draughts (drafts), has been played in different variations since 3000 BC.

225 squares.

Apparently Milton Bradley was involved in a patent dispute but ended up with a patent for their Chinese Checker Board in 1941. My 4180 Board is presumed to date from our family about that time. Could the first two digits of the product number be the year of issue?

1x1 squares = 1

2x2 squares = 4

3x3 squares = 9

4x4 squares = 16

5x5 squares = 25

6x6 squares = 36

7x7 squares = 49

8x8 squares = 64

for a total of 204 squares.

you just need to times 8 by 8 !

8x8=64

no it is a made up rule called blowing piesces but some people choose to play that way

This question is entirely opinionated, as both games have their advantages and disadvantages. Such as, a lot of people theorize that checkers is actually a solved game, and that there is a pattern to win every time for the player who moves first. Also, chess is considered too complicated by many people, as it takes considerably more time and practice.

But overall, both games can be good hobbies, or just something to have fun and pass the time away for awhile, or even competitive sports!

Total 32 pieces: 16 blacks , 16 whites.

The 16 chess pieces are made up of 1 King, 1 queen, 2 bishops, 2 knights, 2 rooks, and 8 pawns. Every game of chess starts off with 32 peices (16 per person). 2 kings, 2 queens, 2, bishops, 2 knights, 2 rooks, and 8 pawns.

This never stipulates that they are playing each other, so the answer seems simple... they both played 5 games against 5 different people and ended up winning the same number of games. Not even a large coincidence.

There are 64 playing squares on a checkerboard. Checkerboards have 8 rows of 8 squares each, in alternating colors, which are usually black and red. Geometrically speaking, however, there are actually 204 squares on an eight-by-eight checkerboard.

If you can't move a checker that player most say pass

No

That depends on which state or country you are in. In the US, you have to be either 18 or 21.

No, they didn't have time for sports. The only thing they did that is kinda like a sport today was hunting, but they didn't do it for fun. They did it to put food on the table so I wouldn't call it a sport.

This is very location dependent as different regions have different pay scales, but typically it is around 50 cents to a dollar above the regular staff.

On the low end this may be as little as $7.75 an hour (with the minimum wage being $7.25 for staff) or as much as $14 in a few rare cases where the region has much higher pay rates.

For example you may get started at $ 9 -10 dollars an hour in Florida as a shift manager.

Yes you can. but first you have to become a king in checkers by going to the other side.

Checkers in Wilson opens at 9 am everyday and closes at 11 pm Monday thru Saturday and closes at 10pm on Sunday.

in draughts can a single take down a double

Yes: both other kings and uncrowned pieces can jump and remove the opponent's kings from the board. The only difference in ruling is that the smaller uncrowned piece cannot move backwards to do so; whereas kings can move or take in any direction.
In fact, if the smaller piece does not take a king that is available for 'the taking', he may be removed or "huffed" from the board for 'not taking'.
Whether you are a small piece or a king, you are required to take any adjacent piece that could be jumped. That is a fundamental rule for draughts, and can be used as a basic 'given' in the strategy of play in that game.

If one is available, then yes, the rules require it.

Should there be a choice of captures, it is your decision as to which is made.

The king is not in any royalty when jumped, he is then taken out of the game

Checkers (in the UK and other countries outside of the US spelled usually chequers) are coloured squares in a pattern of alternating light and dark squares, as in a checkerboard or chess board.

It is also the name of a game played on such a board (customarily 8 squares by 8) also known in the UK as draughts, using flat discs which are also called checkers.
