Best move in Russian checkers

Best move …

Set up the pieces or play moves on the board. The engine draws the strongest move as an arrow along the full capture path.

How to use it

  1. Set the position. Play moves on the board, or press “Set up position” and place men and kings.
  2. Choose who moves. Use the “To move” switch on the right.
  3. Follow the arrow. The arrow traces the whole move, including multi-jumps. Circled pieces are the ones that must capture.
