American Checkers, also known as English draughts, is played on the dark squares only of a standard checkerboard of 64 alternating dark and
light squares(eight rows, eight columns), by two opponents having 12 Checkers each of contrasting colors (red and white).
The object of the game is to prevent the opponent from being able to move when it is his turn to do so.
This is accomplished either by capturing all of the opponent's Checkers, or by blocking those that remain so that none of them can be moved. If neither player can accomplish this, the game is a draw.
