Checkers, draughts, dama or shashki: whatever you call it, play it here with no ads. Take on eight bots from Novice to Grandmaster, invite a friend with a link or a room code, and solve 100 puzzles plus a fresh one every day. When you want to get better, a coach grades every move.
PLAY A FRIEND
• Open a private room and send the invite link in any messenger. The room stays open while you switch apps.
• Your friend taps the link to join, or types the room code
• Clocks of 3, 5 or 10 minutes, or no clock. If a connection drops, that player's clock pauses and the game picks up where it stopped.
• Quick Match pairs you with anyone searching under the same rules. If nobody is searching, play a bot instead.
• Optional Sign in with Apple gives you a unique @username and Ranked games
EIGHT BOTS, NOVICE TO GRANDMASTER
• Eight levels from Novice (800) to Grandmaster (2200), so there is always a fair game and a next level to beat
• Pass & Play: two players, one device
• Play on the clock (3, 5 or 10 minutes) or with no clock at all
• Pick your side, with coordinates on the board
RULE SETS
• American / English checkers: 8×8, men capture forward only
• International draughts: 10×10, flying kings, maximum capture
• Russian draughts: 8×8, flying kings, men capture backward too
• Turkish draughts (dama): 8×8, pieces move straight instead of diagonally
Each comes with an illustrated how-to-play guide.
PUZZLES AND A DAILY PUZZLE
• A 100-level puzzle campaign across all rule sets, from easy to grandmaster
• A new Daily Puzzle every day. Keep your streak going and share it with a friend.
• Puzzle hints are free
LEARN WITH A COACH
• 10 interactive lessons on a real board. The first three are free.
• Turn on the Coach against a bot and every move gets a grade (Best, Good, Inaccuracy, Mistake or Blunder) with the reason: a hung piece, a missed two-for-one, a crowning you walked past
• After a blunder the Coach offers a retry
• After the game, Game Review grades every move from Brilliant to Blunder, with an evaluation bar and graph, accuracy for both sides and key moments that explain why the better move is better. Show best puts it on the board; Retry lets you find it yourself.
• Hints show the strongest move and explain why. Take-backs undo a slip.
YOUR GAMES, YOUR LOOK
• Personal rating, win/draw/loss stats and rating history
• Replay any game move by move, with notation
• 5 board styles and 6 piece sets, all free
• Solo games, puzzles and lessons work offline
• No ads. No cross-app tracking. Usage stats are optional.
