Damasi Rules
Turkish Draughts is played on an 8×8 board with 16 pieces (men) lined up on each side in two rows, leaving the back row empty. Men can move forward or sideways one square and capture by jumping over an opponent's piece. They cannot move backwards. Once a man reaches the back row, it is promoted to a king at the end of the move. Kings have greater mobility, moving any number of squares forward, backward, or sideways, and capturing by jumping over any piece and landing on any square beyond the captured piece.
Pieces are removed immediately after being jumped. If a jump is possible, it must be taken. When multiple jumps are available, the player must choose the sequence that captures the maximum number of pieces. There's no distinction between kings and men during capture; each counts as one piece. If multiple sequences capture the same maximum number of pieces, the player can choose which to execute.
The game concludes when a player has no valid moves left, either because all their pieces are captured or they are completely blocked, resulting in a win for the opponent. A unique aspect of Turkish Draughts is that, since pieces are removed immediately after being jumped, it's possible to cross the same square multiple times within the same capturing sequence. However, within a multi-capture, turning 180 degrees between two captures is not permitted.
