It sounds like you're describing a game of Checkers (also known as Draughts). Here's a quick summary of how the game works based on your description:

🎮 How to Play Checkers:

• Players: 2 (you can play against the computer, a friend on the same device, or an opponent over the internet).
• Board: 8×8 grid with alternating dark and light squares. Only the dark squares are used.
• Pieces: Each player starts with 12 pieces, placed on the dark squares of their side of the board.

✅ Movement Rules:

• On your turn, move one of your pieces diagonally forward to an adjacent empty square.
• If an opponent's piece is on a diagonally adjacent square and the square behind it is empty, you must capture it by jumping over it.
• After a capture, you can continue jumping in the same turn if another capture is available (multiple jumps allowed).

♟ Kinging:

• When a piece reaches the opposite end of the board (the "king row"), it becomes a king.
• A king can move diagonally forward or backward and can capture in both directions.

🎯 Winning:

• The game is won by capturing all of your opponent's pieces.
• Alternatively, if a player has no legal moves, they lose.

📌 Tips:

• Always check for forced captures—you must capture if possible.
• Try to control the center and set up multiple jump opportunities.
• Kings are powerful—aim to crown your pieces early.
