About Checkers vs Computer: Classic Russian Checkers with 5 Difficulty Levels

Checkers vs Computer brings the classic game of Russian checkers to your browser with two distinct ways to play: face off against the computer or sit down with a friend for a head-to-head match. The computer opponent spans five difficulty levels, from an easy setting that a beginner can handle to a hard setting that will challenge even experienced players. A grid of light and dark brown squares fills the board, with black and white circular pieces set out across it. Beyond the match itself, the game tracks your victories and defeats, broken down by difficulty level, so progress is always visible. Background color can be switched between black and white, and sound effects can be toggled on or off. Nothing extra — just checkers, played for fun.

How to Play Checkers vs Computer

The rules follow the classic Russian checkers standard. Capturing an opponent's piece is mandatory whenever the opportunity arises. A king, once crowned, moves across the entire board rather than being limited to a single step. The recommended approach is to start at an easier difficulty level and work up through the harder ones progressively.

Game Modes

• Against the computer — choose one of five difficulty levels
• Against each other — two players take turns on the same device
