How to play
Men move one square diagonally forward on the dark squares. Jump an enemy piece next to you onto the empty square beyond to capture it; if you can capture you must, and you keep jumping while you can. A man reaching the far row becomes a king and moves backwards too. A side with no move loses.
Beside chess
Chess's oldest companion on the same 8x8 board: pieces that capture by jumping, a forced capture rule, and promotion on the last rank.
Moves are written as the cells they touch: d4, e2e4, c3e5g7.
Quick pairing
Pick a clock. You meet the closest rating waiting in that pool; the range widens while you wait.
