Pawns can capture diagonally forward or backward, jumped pieces are removed from the board after the full move and it is mandatory to capture as many pieces (as one multi-jump) as possible. When a pawn reaches the last row while jumping and can jump more pieces backwards, it does not promote. (læs alle regler)

Dameo This game (created by Christian Freeling) is one of the most modern Checkers variants.

Capture moves are allowed only vertically and horizontally, and the capture rules are the same as in International Checkers. (læs alle regler)
