	Draughts - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Checkers or draughts (pronounced "drafts"), is a group of abstract strategy board games between two players which involve diagonal moves of uniform pieces and mandatory captures by jumping over the enemy's pieces.
		Pool checkers - Exactly the same rules as Brazilian checkers but when there is more than one way for a player to jump, one may choose which sequence to make, not necessarily the sequence that will result in the greatest number of captures.
		Chinese checkers is based on Halma, but uses a star-shaped board divided into triangles.

	Chinese Chess
		Chinese Chess, or xiangqi, is perhaps the most popular board game in the world, played by millions of people in China, other parts of Asia, and wherever Chinese have settled.
		Pieces are identified by Chinese ideograms in the team colours, typically fl (sometimes another dark colour) and red.
		Although the pieces are often referred to by the names of their Western equivalents, I believe this practice dishonours the distinct tradition of the Chinese game, and I prefer to use translations of the Chinese names.
