Fencer, you can find them on the site I posted earlier as well... I think the main difference is that you must make allways the maximum captures as possible (you can't choose between capturing one or two pieces - must go for the two) and you can choose between a pawn and a queen to make the capture (provided they both have the possibility to capture the same maximum number of opponent's pieces).
Oh, and the board is turned (main diagonal from upper left to lower right).
No bug. Just found a site with many checkers variations... In the Czech version, the queen capture precedence is also noted there...
It's just us portuguese that are used to a different type of checkers.
Just found out another thing. There used to be possible to reverse motion to make a capture (for instance, queen in F6 and opponent pawns in G5 and E3, the queen could capture them both in one move by jumping first to H6 and then go back to capture the other pawn).
I only knew this rule here at brainking and it allways caught me by surprise when it happened to me...
Very well, it's not possible anymore :) (I prefer it that way).
However, I also have some problems with this rule. The rules for the "portuguese checkers" state that a piece must capture as many opponent's pieces as possibleand of the strongest type as possible... but any piece can capture if there is more than one option, as long as the number captured is the same... And it looks like the "English checkers" are different as well... at least trusting on Stevie's opinion...
But then again I never played checkers outside of Portugal... just a question: is this really how checkers are played in Czech Republic or is it a bug introduced when the other one was corrected?
How many national variants are there for this game anyway? Is there a site that lists them all?
