Click the Alquerque icon in the Chrome extension. 2. You play cream pieces and move first; the AI plays navy. 3. Select a piece, then a highlighted point along a marked line. 4. Jump adjacent enemies onto the empty point beyond. If a capture exists, you must take one - and choose the sequence that captures the most pieces. 5. Win by capturing every enemy piece or leaving the AI with no legal move. Quiet-move and repetition draws are handled for you. Coming soon in Settings: Online, Private, and Profile modes.
