Yes. Any checker can jump over another one that is a single space diagonally away. If the opponent leaves a King open to capture like that, go for it.
can a single jump over a double in checkers/draughts
No a single checker cant
Placing a checker on top of the checker being "kinged" is what it takes to turn an ordinary checker piece into a king. One piece represents the ordinary playing piece. One piece on top of another represents the king.
a king cannot jump 2 blocks in a row so therefore he can't if he is in checkers or not.
the kings in checkers can jump twice in checkers when the checker piece is on the other side of the board
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.
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.
No, kings cannot go sideways. They are no different than ordinary checker pieces in this regard. Kings and ordinary pieces must move diagonally.
No, you cannot jump your own checker with a king.
Yes, a single piece can jump a king … in a game of checkers in the United States of America. But this is not the case in Italy. In the Italian version, a king legally can be captured only by another king.
Sure.
