Russian Besiege Checkers

To play Russian Besiege Checkers we will need two standard 8x8 chessboards.

Let's connect these two boards vertically.

Now we have an 8x16 board for playing Russian Besiege Checkers.

All rules except direction of pieces moves and promotions are just as in Russian Checkers.

White pieces at the first, second and third row move upwards, promote when they come at the 8th row.

White pieces at the 16th, 15th and 14th row move downwards, promote when they come at the 9th row.

Black pieces at the 8th, 7th and 6th row move downwards, promote when they come at the 1st row.

Black pieces at the 9th, 10th and 11th row move upwards, promote when they come at the 16th row.

I am the author of this checkers variant. I hope Russian Besiege Checkers will be of interest to all checkers fans.

Looks interesting, we'll add to our (long) list of possible future variants. We do want to do some refactoring of our Draughts code before adding any more Draughts variants, so it will be some time before we are in a suitable position to add more Draughts variants.
