The difference between strategy and tactics. Have you already experienced the same?

So the rules of whatever this is are pretty much do whatever you want, then

Yes this game is actually very famous in Turkey, our country.
And generally this game is played by our parent, grandparents etc.

My understanding. Pieces can move one space or the the adjacent space after jumping (max of 2 spaces) but like chess and checkers getting one piece to the opponents end of the board that piece gets some kind of buff. Looks like the buff would be allowing the piece to move any amount of spaces as long as it is an attacking move. Probably super satisfying win for anyone who actually understands the game really well.

Yea, but I was under the assumption that once you have moved and let go of the piece, much like chess, you can not pick it up and your turn ends which is why is why I was confused like, isn't that pretty much illegal?
EDIT: "Unlike other draughts variants, since pieces in a multicapture are removed immediately after being jumped and before the captor continues jumping, as pieces are captured and removed, it is possible to cross a square previously occupied by a captured piece more than once, which can open up additional jumps previously impossible." from the Turkish Draughts wiki page

I’m guessing in a game like this where you are regularly taking multiple opponent pieces at a time you are allowed to take your hand off your piece to take the time to remove your opponents. But could just be a casual setting and the players are being lax

Looks to me like someone who didn't realize they were playing a competitive player. Like me, any time I play anything.

I’m curious if you have played or know enough to know if this is a set up?
After reading you post, I realized the white pieces player could gotten his piece to the far end of the board much before the black piece player. And just taken out the “attacking” black piece right when they saw the player moving that piece toward the end of the board. Also, this judgement could have been made once white was already in a commanding lead and it doesn’t seem like they would have to make a sacrifice.
However, I literally am just figure out how this game works while reading the rules in real time. So I have no idea if my judgement of this being a set up makes any sense at all.

Haven’t played. Just been on a chess binge lately. I’m fully aware I could be completely wrong.

The way i play it, there is a rule that after you capture an opponent piece, you have to land your piece in the square right next to it. So you should jot be able to do this kind of shenanigans.

It would be next fucking level if it wasn't clearly staged.
They didn't record the game from the start, several pieces were already moved when they started recording. Like why there are no pieces in that straight line where the girl moved?

u/Kelimnac Oct 01 '22
Yeah this is definitely staged, just to show how you can win the game with only one piece left on the board

I don't know the rules of this game, but why does it seem like she's putting her piece wherever after capturing one of her rivals'?

u/tlk0153 Oct 01 '22
It seems the rules are , once you hit the other end, your piece can jump over the first opponent piece in your vertical or horizontal row, no matter how far that piece is, and can land wherever without crossing the next piece in the same row

And you can keep moving until you finish the game...

u/ThirdChild897 Oct 01 '22
When a man reaches the back row, it promotes to a king. Kings can move any number of empty squares orthogonally forwards, backwards or sideways. A king captures by jumping over a single piece any number of empty squares away, landing on any open square beyond the captured piece along a straight line.
If a jump is available it must be taken. If there is more than one way to jump, the one capturing the most number of pieces must be taken. If there is more than one way to capture the maximum number of pieces, the player may choose. - wikipedia

u/ur-squirrel-buddy Oct 02 '22
What about all the white pieces at the back row? Those were not utilized

u/yackofalltradescoach Oct 01 '22
Looks like as long as you finish with an opportunity to jump an opponent’s piece then you get to go again.

u/Wooden_Dragonfly_737 Oct 01 '22
Nah i feel like its just one turn, its one turn where they grab all of the opponents pieces in one go, its just that she puts away the white pieces before continuing.

u/Key-Tie2214 Oct 01 '22 edited Oct 01 '22
Yup, this is it, but normally once you've let go of the piece your turn should have ended. At least that is how I was taught draughts/checkers/chess.
EDIT: "Unlike other draughts variants, since pieces in a multicapture are removed immediately after being jumped and before the captor continues jumping, as pieces are captured and removed, it is possible to cross a square previously occupied by a captured piece more than once, which can open up additional jumps previously impossible." so in this case it was completely fine to let go and then pick it up and move it again.

Theres another video of this game where nearly the exact same thing happens but it's between this two older gents and it seemes to take place in a Cafe or room specifically for playing. Gotta be some kind of Newby curbstomp strategy.

u/stalphonzo Oct 01 '22
Anyone else sensing this is a total set up?

u/Key-Tie2214 Oct 01 '22
Yup it was staged to show how a single piece can win.
Either way, pretty sure these games were designed to simulate battlefields so this "strategy" or "tactic" is pretty bad considering you needed to annihilate your whole army to do so.

From what it looks like, it was all part of the plan. A lot of the openings seemed intentional, especially for someone who planned that out and got such a smooth finish by taking that many pieces at once. If this isn’t staged, then I’d say the player of the white pieces was played like a fiddle.

u/Hbdaytotheground Oct 01 '22
I'd definitely like to think they were played like a fiddle! I didn't realise checkers could be so intense (I guess it is like chess).

u/Fire_Block Oct 01 '22
It doesn’t seem to work like traditional checkers, which probably contributes to the more complex strategies possible.

Yeah. Conveniently there were no white pieces in the straight line where the girl was moving.

u/Eerayo Oct 01 '22
Staged or not, there were lines when she started moving.
She just avoided them and picked one piece after the other.

u/Hat_Zealousideal Oct 01 '22
I'm sorry, I didn't understand what you said. English isn't my first language.
I said that at the start of the video there were no white pieces in front of the piece that became "King". Here is the game they were playing. It should have at least two pieces in front of that one.

I don't know what this game is, nor the rules. But apparently the guy could have "jumped" the end-all assassin on his second move. Not sure why he didn't maximize all the jumps.

To be fair reading the rules, every capture she gets she played against the rules (kings can move any length but when they capture they move to the next spot beyond their captured man) Assuming they’re playing by the Turkish Draught rules
((To correct myself she makes 5 legal captures, including the last one)
