Croda is a modern variant combining elements of International - and
Turkish Draughts,
but unlike its parents it's a 'doublegrid' game,
meaning that it employs both the orthogonal and the diagonal grid.
It was invented by Croatian mathematics professor and Draughts master,
the late Ljuban Dedić in order to create a draughts game with a smaller margin of draws.
He did so by basically replacing the sideways move of a man in Turkish Draughts,
by a diagonally forward move.
