What happens when a Checker piece reaches the opposite end of the board?
When a Checker piece reaches the opposite end of the board, it undergoes a process called "promotion." The promoted piece is upgraded to a more powerful piece, typically a "King" in traditional Checkers. A regular piece is flipped over to indicate its promotion. Kings have the ability to move both forward and backward, adding versatility to the game. They can capture opponent's pieces diagonally in any direction, making them a strategic asset. The promotion enhances the piece's value and strength, enabling players to potentially control more spaces and execute more complex tactics. It introduces an exciting dynamic to the game and requires players to carefully consider their moves and promotions in order to succeed.
