So what rules was changed - and for what game or games?
If the rules were changed, why wasn't the site notified? I don't play checker games very often, but I learned the rules enough to play a few games here and there - and if there is a rule change, I need to know about it (Most players probable do not ready the discussion boards.)
When a rule change was done to another games (Hasami Shogi) a notice was put on the top of every Hasami Shogi game so all players knew of the change.
I also looked at the rule page - and even compared the rule page to the rules from July 2006, and I don't see anything different.
Turkish Checkers says rules are same as Czech Checkers - and Czech Checkers says rules are same as Checkers. Normal checkers still has this rule:
"However, when a queen (in variants with long jumps) can make a jump, the player cannot select a pawn to jump with."
So what has changed - and why would something be changed and (1) users not told and worse, (2) not indicated in the game rules?
coan.net: Sorry, Coan, but that is not true. That rule that you said it's common to all checkers - "However, when a queen (in variants with long jumps) can make a jump, the player cannot select a pawn to jump with." -, well... that's false. It is maybe a rule for Czech Checkers, maybe a rule for Turkish... nothing more. It isn't a rule for any "serious" variant, like clasic or international checkers.
According to this site rules, that is what it says. If Fencer has changed the rules to the game, he has told no one - the rules page still lists the old one, and I think Fencer needs to inform users if any rule changes has taken place.
.... the question of if this site rules are the same as the "Official" rules - well I'm sure that is a debate in all it's self..... (which as a mostly non-checkers player, I honestly don't know much about.)
coan.net: Please mind that that game is not the standard checkers here in Europe. That is the standard Checkers version in America, also the way you learned to play checkers, probably. In Europe, however, is (International) Checkers the standard version.
