The Single piece can only move forward to one of the black squares that are diagonally connected to its current location. |

The King piece also moves like the Single piece, but can also move in a backwardly direction along with a forwardly direction. |

The Single piece can jump an opponents piece in a forwardly along one of the black diagonals connected to its current location. |

| How to Move a piece |
First click once on the piece that you want to move. The square will have
white outline around it. Next click once on the square you want to move it to.
If it is a valid move, the piece will move to the new square. If it is not a
valid move, nothing will happen. To move a different piece click once on the
piece you no long want to move. The white outline will be removed. |
| How to Jump a piece |
First click once on the piece you want to jump with. The square will have
a white outline around it like a move turn. Next click once on the square
that is open on the other side of the piece you want to jump over.
If it is a valid jump, it will also be outlined. If that is the only piece
you want to jump, click once on the open square again. You can jump up to
three consecutive pieces. To choose another piece to jump over, click once
on the open square on the other side of that piece to be jumped. Just like
with a single jump, you can end your jump choices with clicking once on that
last open square. Like the move turn, to choose a different piece to use to
jump click on the first piece you choose to do the jumping. |
| How to restart the game |
Click on the 2 player or 1 Player button to reset the game. |
