Step 1 · Short kings
English checkers kings are short kings: one diagonal square at a time, but forward or backward.
Coach narration
Step 2 · Backward king move
This dark king can move backward, something a normal man cannot do.
Tap the crowned king, then tap the highlighted square just behind it.
The move: 18-14
Good. Kings move in both diagonal directions.
Common mistake: Follow the on-board guide: tap the crowned king, then tap the square marked Land here.

Step 3 · Short but flexible
English kings are not flying kings. They still move one square, but the new power is choosing either diagonal direction.
