American Checkers has been a staple of family game collections for over a century. Its accessibility makes it one of the first strategy games many people learn, yet its depth has sustained competitive play at the highest levels for generations. The World Checkers/Draughts Championship for American-style checkers has been held since the 19th century, and the game continues to have a vibrant competitive community. What makes American Checkers particularly interesting is the mandatory capture rule. Unlike chess, where capturing is optional, in checkers you must jump when possible. This creates situations where you can force your opponent into disadvantageous captures — a concept called "shot plays." The best checkers players excel at creating these forced sequences that win material through clever positional preparation. Our implementation faithfully reproduces the American Checkers experience with accurate rules enforcement, including mandatory captures, chain jumps, and king promotion. The three AI difficulty levels provide appropriate challenges for players of all abilities, from beginners learning the game to experienced players looking for serious competition.
