Answers:

1. No, you cannot jump over two pieces in checkers. Moves are always diagonal, towards the opponent, and only one square at a time, unless capturing a piece.

2. In checkers, a KING can move in any direction along empty adjoining dark squares and can jump in the same manner as regular men. KING jumps can be made in any diagonal direction, either forward or backward.

3. The King in checkers can only jump over one piece at a time. It cannot jump over a piece of its own color. There must always be at least one empty square just beyond the piece that will be captured.

4. After a checker becomes a “King,” it can move diagonally forward or backward. It can move one space diagonally to an open adjacent square or jump one or more checkers diagonally to an open square adjacent to the checker you jumped.

5. No, the King cannot jump over two pieces in chess. Unlike checkers, the King in chess cannot “hop” or jump any pieces on the board.

6. In checkers, kings can jump both regular pieces and other kings diagonally forward and backward. However, you cannot jump your own pieces.

7. Yes, in checkers, a single checker can jump a king. Both regular pieces and kings can jump each other. A regular checker can only jump a king diagonally forward, just like it can jump a single checker.

8. Just like regular pieces, kings in checkers cannot jump over their own pieces. Kings can jump diagonally forward and backward, but they cannot jump their own pieces.

9. In chess, the King can move only one square horizontally, vertically, or diagonally. However, once in the game, each king is allowed to make a special double move called castling, where the king moves two squares towards a rook and the rook moves onto the square over which the king crossed.

10. In chess, the knight is the only piece that can jump over other pieces. It moves in an “L” shape, two squares horizontally or vertically, followed by one square at a right-angle.

11. In checkers, when a piece or stack of pieces makes a jump and reaches the other side of the board, it becomes a king. Kings can continue jumping backward on the same turn, sometimes capturing two pieces from the same stack in a double jump.
