puts a smile on my face. I play a lot of games on my cell phone and computer. For hours and hours....the time
just slips way. But....I enjoy it.

Play against a friend (2 player game) or play against the computer (1 player game). The game is played by
two opponents who faces each other on opposite sides of the checkers gameboard. One of the players has the
dark colour pieces and the other one has the light colour pieces. The two players alternate turns in the
game. It is not legal to move an opponent’s piece. A player can move a piece diagonally to an adjacent
unoccupied square. If one of the opponent’s pieces occupy that adjacent square, and the square immediately
beyond it is vacant, the opponent’s piece may be captured and removed from the game by jumping over it. When
one of the pieces reaches the other side of the board (the row farthest from the player), called the “kings’
row” or “crownhead”, the piece will become “king” and is marked by adding an additional piece on top of it.
In this online game, the kings are marked with a crown. Kings have the ability to move and capture backwards
as well as forwards. King: A black piece has travelled to the kings’ row and turned into a king. Checkers

Chess pieces The object of the game is to capture your opponent’s king. This is done through the movement of
your pieces. If you have touch screen, you can use your finger in place of the mouse/keypad.

The Knights move in an L-shaped, two squares up
back or side to side then one square perpendicular to the first move or visa versa, moving one square then
two squares. The knight is the only piece that can move over the other pieces. Play Chess game Knight.
The pawns can move one square forward except
for a pawns first move which can be one or two squares. Play Chess game pawn
The pawns can move one square forward,
except for a pawns first move which can be one or two squares forward. Play Chess game pawn.
Chess Rules:
When a piece makes a move that ends on an opponent’s piece that piece is captured and removed from the board.
The pawns cannot
capture a piece that is right in front of it. The can only capture a piece that is diagonally in
front of them. This diagonal move by a pawn can only be made when capturing a piece.
The game begins with
the white player going first. Each player can make one move per turn. Players take turns making
moves with the goal of capturing the opposing King in mind.
When a move is made
that can result in the opposing King being captured on the next move, “check” is announced. When
check is announced, the opposing player must take the King out of danger by either moving the King
or moving another piece to block it or capture the piece that is threatening the King.
When a move is made
that a king cannot escape “checkmate” is announced. A king cannot make a move that would put itself
into check. If no moves can be made without putting a king in check, the game is a draw.
If a pawn makes it all
the way across the board it can be promoted to any piece.
When there are no
other pieces between a king and his rook, the King can move two squares towards the rook and the
rook is moved to the other side of the King. This is known as castling. The castling move can only
be made if it is the King’s first move and the involved rooks first move also. The King cannot be in
check or move through check to make this move.
When a pawn moves two squares on its first move an opposing pawn
can capture it if it would have been able to capture the pawn had it only moved one square. The
opposing piece would move as a normal attack and remove the pawn. This move has to be executed
immediately after a pawns double jump move.

Reversi and Othello game basics
The players take turn in placing one disc (game
piece) on the board, with their designated color facing up.
The aim of each move in Reversi and Othello
gaming is to trap one or more of your opponent’s discs between two of your own. When you trap
discs, you can flip them over and thereby reverse their color to make them yours.
The game is over when both players have placed all their disks
on the board, or when there are no more legal moves possible for either player. Whoever has
the highest number of discs on the board is the winner.
Example 1 - Black player traps white player’s disc and flips it over:
Example 2 - Discs can also be trapped in several directions in one single move, and both in straight and diagonal lines:
Reversi and Othello game rules:
In the modern game versions you are only allowed to make a move if you are able
to trap one or more of your opponent’s discs.
If there’s no move you can make to trap discs, the move passes back to the
other player.If neither player can make a move to trap the opponent’s discs, the game is over (Stall).You
can only trap disks in straight or diagonal lines.
Reversi and Othello game tactics:
After playing a few rounds, you will discover that there are some basic tactics
that will give you an edge. For instance, discs placed in the corners of the board are immune to be flipped
for the rest of the game. And discs placed along the edge can only be attacked from the sides. Consequently,
it would be a helpful tactic to secure positions like that.
Likewise, it can be a good tactic to avoid giving your opponent the opportunity
to occupy those places. For example, try not to be the first one to place a disc on a position next to a
corner or the edge, because that will give your opponent a chance to secure that corner or that edge
position in a later move.
Example 3 - Suggested beginner tactic: Grab any opportunity to get the blue positions. Try to avoid the
red positions in the early stages of the game.
Reversi and Othello game history:
Reversi is an abstract strategy board game for two players invented in 1883 in
England. The German games publisher Ravensburger put the board game into production. It consisted of a board
with a grid net divided into 8 columns and 8 rows. 64 disk shaped checkers served as pieces, colored black
on one side and white on the other. Each of the disks’ two sides corresponded to one player. Each player
placed their disks on the grid alternately with their color facing up. When one or more of a player’s disk
was trapped between two of the opponent’s opposite colored disks in a straight or diagonal line, they would
be turned over and thereby change color. The player that had the most disks at the end of the game was
declared winner.
Various rules were added to the gameplay later to refine the game, and it
achieved extreme popularity in the 1970’s, when marketed as Othello. The name Othello is a reference to the
Shakespearean play, referring to the unfolding drama between Othello, who is black, and Desdemona, who is
white. The green board is inspired by Othello valiantly leading his battle in a green field.
