The lesson in words
If a man reaches the far row in the middle of a capture, it is crowned at once. If it can capture again, it carries on in the same move, as a flying king.
(In American checkers the move would stop on the crowning square.)
Jump to the far row, then keep going as a king.
Try it: Capture both black men.
Crowning doesn’t stop a capture in Russian Checkers. Next: the Turkish strike.
