The document provides information about the board game of checkers. It discusses that checkers is a two-player game that is played on an 8x8 checkered board with the goal of capturing all of your opponent's pieces. The rules state that players take turns moving one piece diagonally forward and jumping over opponent's pieces. When a piece reaches the last row on the board, it is crowned as a king that can move both forward and backward. The game ends when one player no longer has any pieces left or if 50 consecutive turns pass without any pieces being captured.
