How do you play the game known as 'Checkers'?

To play checkers you must align all the pieces on the same color lined up against the edge of the boards border and opposite of that for the opposition. Each player then takes a turn moving a piece, jumping over an enemy players piece when given the opportunity. Should a player's piece move to the oppositions borderline that piece then becomes a king. The king can move in any direction, making it more difficult to avoid losses and provokes strategic plays.
