Damasi Rules

* The game is played on an 8×8 board where each player starts with 16 men arranged in two rows, leaving the back row empty.

* Men move forward or sideways one square and capture by jumping over an opponent's piece, but they cannot move backward. Upon reaching the back row, a man is promoted to a king. Kings have the freedom to move any number of squares in any direction—forward, backward, or sideways—and capture similarly by jumping over an opponent's piece.

* Captured pieces are removed from the board immediately after being jumped. If a jump is available, it must be taken. In cases where multiple captures are possible, the player must choose the sequence that captures the most pieces. There's no distinction between capturing a man or a king; each counts as one piece. If multiple sequences capture the same maximum number of pieces, the player can choose any of those sequences.

* The game concludes when a player has no valid moves left, either because all their pieces have been captured or they are completely blocked. The opponent then wins the game.

* A unique feature of Turkish Draughts is that, since pieces are removed immediately after being captured, it's possible to cross the same square multiple times in one capturing sequence.

* During a multi-capture move, turning 180 degrees between two captures is not permitted.
