A single man may move one square forward on the column, or sideward on the row.
A king moves any distance on an open line in 4 directions (back, forward, left or right).
Capturing
A single man captures in any of the same 3 directions.
A king captures by jumping to a vacant square beyond an adverse piece, any distance away.
A single man or a king must continue jumping as long as possible.
With choice of captures, the player must take the maximum number of adverse pieces.
Within a multicapture turning 180 degrees between two captures is illegal.
Each captured piece is removed from the board before the captor continues jumping; its removal may therefore open up additional captures previously impossible.
Piece Promotion
A piece reaching the far row of the board gets promoted to a king (=dam in Turkish), and the move terminates.

the same position is encountered 3 times.
