Real engine evaluation — the same minimax/alpha-beta search that powers the bot, run at a modest depth against the moves actually played. Not fetched, not faked.

How to play
Getting started
1. Pick a mode — from the Play page: practice against the bot, play locally on the same device with a friend, or find a real opponent online.
2. Pick a variant and speed — International (10×10), English (checkers, 8×8), or Russian (8×8), each with Bullet, Blitz, or Rapid time controls.
3. Make your move — click or tap a piece to see its legal moves highlighted, then click the square you want to move to. If a capture is available, you must take it.
4. Create a free account (Account page) to save your rating, game history, and appear on the leaderboard — you can also just play as a guest without one.

Basic rules, by variant
International draughts — 10×10 board, men capture forward and backward, kings fly any distance along a diagonal, and captures are mandatory — when more than one is available, you must take the one that captures the most pieces.
English draughts (checkers) — 8×8 board, men capture forward only (until crowned), kings move one square at a time in any diagonal direction. Captures are mandatory, but there's no "biggest capture" rule — any legal capture is fine.
Russian draughts — 8×8 board, men capture forward and backward, kings fly any distance. Captures are mandatory but, unlike International, you're free to choose among several available capture sequences.

Ratings & rankings
You have a separate Elo rating for each of the 9 combinations of variant × speed — a strong Blitz rating in International doesn't carry over to Russian Bullet, for example. Ratings update automatically after every rated online game. Games marked "Casual" don't affect your rating, so they're a good way to try a new variant without risk. The Rankings page shows the top players server-wide or filtered to your country; your own rating history over time is on your Profile page.
Frequently asked questions
Why do I have to take a capture? — Draughts rules require capturing when it's available ("forced capture"); the game highlights which pieces can capture so you can't miss it.
Can I undo a move? — No, same as over-the-board play — once you release a piece on a legal square, the move stands. Use Analysis after the game to review what happened.
What happens if I disconnect mid-game? — You have a grace period to reconnect before the game is forfeited on time; a countdown shows on your opponent's screen while you're gone.
How do tournaments work? — Single-elimination brackets, Swiss, and Arena formats are all supported — check the Tournaments page for what's currently open, or start your own.
Why does the leaderboard say it's locked? — It unlocks after you've played your first game, so a brand-new account isn't shown sitting at an unranked spot.
Can I play against the same opponent again? — Yes — challenge them directly from their profile or the Friends page, or add them as a friend first to challenge them any time.
Why did I get matched instantly / why is there no one online? — If no human opponent is found within a short wait, you may be matched with a bot persona so you're never left waiting indefinitely — it plays like, and is rated like, any other opponent.

Friends & challenges
Adding a friend — search for their username from the Friends page and send a request; they'll see it under Pending requests and can accept or decline it.
Challenging someone — from a friend's row, or from their profile, pick "Challenge", choose the variant, speed, and rated/casual, then send it. They'll get a notification (bell icon) to accept or decline.
Removing a friend — use "Remove" next to their name on the Friends page; this doesn't notify them.

Safety & moderation
In-game chat is automatically screened for abusive or profane language — a message that trips the filter is blocked before it's sent, and the sender sees why. If another player is being abusive despite that, you can block them directly from the in-game chat panel; a blocked player can no longer message or challenge you. Repeated reports may lead to account-level restrictions — see the Terms of Service (linked at sign-up) for the full conduct policy.
