Introduction

Playing  2AM's Internet Checkers is like playing any other game of checkers. So there is really very little to learn. Just read the few short instructions.

Note: These instructions do NOT cover the rules of checkers. They just explain how to use the Internet Checkers program.


Playing the Game

Note: In this version of the game, WHITE ALWAYS GOES FIRST.

To move or place a piece, point the cursor at it, click the left mouse button and hold the button down, move the cursor to the piece's destination, then release the button. (This is known as "dragging".) The piece will move there. In the event of an illegal move, the piece will not move at all.

If you fail to take a piece that you must take, you will be informed that you must take a piece.

Watch the status bar at the bottom of the screen.

When the game is decided, both the winner and the loser are informed of this fact.


Starting the Game

Once you have logged on to to play the game, you will see a box that allows you to choose which color you want to play, black or white.

Select a color and click OK.

When your opponent selects his/her side, the board will appear and you may start to play.

Note: In this version of the game, WHITE ALWAYS GOES FIRST.
