Without doubt, Chequers is one of the best board games out there and it has been around for a very long time. It is a game of strategic thinking and it is a fun way to pass time.
Chequers was originally played on a wooden board but thanks to mobile phones and app developers, you can now play checkers on your phone and anywhere you like.
For the sake of clarity, Chequers (also known as Checkers or Draughts) is a board game for two players which involves diagonal moves of uniform game pieces and mandatory captures by jumping over opponent pieces.
The game was developed from another board game called Alquerque and the name Draughts is said to be driven from the verb to draw or to move. [Source: Wikipedia]
