Moves are only allowed on dark squares, so pieces always move diagonally. Single pieces are always restricted to moving forward (towards the opponent).
Capture pieces by jumping.
A piece that makes a capture (jump) jumps over one of the opponent's pieces and lands in a straight diagonal line on the other side. Only one piece can be captured in one jump; however, multiple jumps are allowed in one move.
Jumps (or captures) are mandatory.
If a player can make a capture, the jump must be made.

When a piece reaches the furthest row from the player who controls it, it becomes a king and can move either forward or backward.
