5. March 2009, 14:44:38 Subject: Re: Thai Checkers Marfitalu: Let's go see if i understood. In this position Damas Tailandesas (Marfitalu vs. AlterMann), do you want play E5xG3xB8? That's impossible, because pieces are in same line and your queen is between them, so you only can capture one piece. 5.

March 2009, 22:08:41 Subject: Re: Thai Checkers Marfitalu: It depends on the variant of checkers you are playing. However I am not an expert for all of them... (in particular, I have never tried a serious game of Thai checkers ...) In Turkish checkers (for example) the captured pieces are removed from the board DURING the move (possibly creating new opportunities for capturing). However, e.g. in Czech checkers, all captured pieces are (according to the official rules) removed AFTER the whole move is completed. There exist some pretty combinations based on this rule - they are commonly called "Turkish assault"! I guess that in Thai checkers, the second option is applied, preventing you from playing the mentioned double-jump ... 5.

I also don't speak Thai language and I don't know any Thai checkers software where I could test this situation... As I wrote earlier, I have never tried to play this checkers variant seriously... I only tried to find some reasonable explanation  |
