3. Checkers can move only one square forward;

4. If black and white checkers  are located  on the same diagonal line, and there is one vacant square behind each of them, so one can hit the opponent's checker. Depending on that fact whose turn it is, a checker "jumps over" the rival's one to the blank square   on the same diagonal line, and the opponent's checker is taken away from the board;

5. A checker that managed to go through the opponent's playfield, becomes a king;
