Can a king jump over its own king in checkers?

Question

We're having a debate at work.

Answer 1

No, not unless you are playing by non-standard rules.

Answer 2

You can but in doing so you will lose your king.

Answer 3

How would a King jump over his own King?

Answer 4

it would depend on the rules u are playing by.

but i have never heard of jumping over ur own checkers. have heard of like corner jumps and stuff but nothing over ur own piecs

Answer 5

No, Your own piece in checkers cannot jump over its own piece, not even if it is a king. that would be wierd though and even useful if it were allowed. by the way if you look at this link as proof it says you can only jump over opponents pieces.

Hope I helped,

Answer 6

NO

Answer 7

No, not in standard checkers.

My Dad taught me a checkers variant that we used to play called "jump your own man".

There are a number of checkers variants that i've seen and played...it's always good when playing a new player to discuss the rules first :-)

Answer 8

No, not unless you change the rules and make up your own rules, which we do sometimes. But  both parties must be aware of the new rules at the start of the game.

Answer 9

Of course no. You can't jump your own king but you can jump opponents king.

Answer 10

no, u can only jump of the opponents

Answer 11

what the ****
