Read a position
If a capture is available, an ordinary non-capturing move is not legal. After the first jump, continue jumping with that same piece when another capture is available.

This is English/American checkers with short kings. Men capture forward, and reaching promotion ends that turn. Plan the landing square before committing to a forced sequence.
