Text a game
Make the opening move, then send it. They can answer whenever, and the match stays here while either of you is away.
Move diagonally, jump when you must, and turn one surviving piece into a king.
Play American checkers by entering the square a piece leaves and the square it reaches. Captures are mandatory, kings move backward, and the board answers each move with the next legal position.
The terminal keeps the game focused on geometry and tempo: inspect the board, find the forced line, and make the move you can defend.
