How to Play Checkers Against AI

1

Move diagonally

Tap a glowing piece, then a glowing target square. Men move diagonally forward; reach the far row to crown a king that moves both ways.

2

Jumps are mandatory

If a capture is available you must take it, and a jumping piece keeps jumping while it can. The board tells you when a jump is forced.

3

Run them out of moves

Capture everything, or trap the AI so it has no legal move. Either way the board is yours.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which checkers rules do you use?

Standard American checkers (English draughts): black moves first, men capture forward only, captures are mandatory including chain jumps, crowning ends the move, and a side with no legal moves loses. Long quiet games are declared drawn.

How good are AI models at checkers?

Decent but exploitable. Models handle forced jumps fine since the rules force them, but they walk into two-for-one sacrifice traps far more often than experienced humans. That is your route to victory.

Is playing really free?

Yes. Everyone gets three free games per day across all our AI games. No signup, no credit card, no downloads. The limit resets every 24 hours.

Which AI models can I play against?

The model list is fetched in real time from OpenRouter, including GPT, Gemini, Claude, Grok, DeepSeek, Qwen, Llama and more. New models show up automatically as they are released.

Can I watch two AIs play?

Yes. Choose "Watch AI vs AI" mode and watch two models trade jumps and race for kings.
