Can a king capture a king in draughts?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

This is what someone said:

No.

For that to happen in the previous move the king put himself at check, in an adjacent square to the enemy king's square, which is an illegal move.

But I say:

Yes.

the king can capture another king ONLY if the king is protected like a white queen protects a white king.

It depends on the exposure. If you are lapping each board 1 1/4" you have a 6" exposure. This would give 6 square feet coverage per board, and would take 17 boards to cover 100 square eet (1 square)

Exposure (in feet) * Length = Square foot of coverage per board

1 square = 100 square feet

A standard checkers or chess board has eight rows of eight squares in alternating colors, light and dark, for5 a total of 64 same-sized squares. However, as a trick question, four of these squares may be arranged to be a square (and these overlap). You could have 3x3 squares, 4x4, 5x5, 6x6, and 7x7 squares, and of course the whole board is one big 8x8 square.

Asked by Wiki User

Such as, a lot of people theorize that checkers is actually a solved game, and that there is a pattern to win every time for the player who moves first. Also, chess is considered too complicated by many people, as it takes considerably more time and practice.

But overall, both games can be good hobbies, or just something to have fun and pass the time away for awhile, or even competitive sports!
