How do kings jump over other pieces in the checkers game?

In checkers, kings can jump over other pieces by moving diagonally across the board. When a king lands on a square immediately beyond an opponent's piece, it captures that piece, which is then removed from the board. Kings can make multiple jumps in a single turn if they have the opportunity to do so, as long as each jump follows the same diagonal movement pattern and lands on an empty square. This ability to jump over pieces is one of the key advantages of kings in the game.
