How to play
You complete Chequers when every card reaches the foundation target while the profile's access, packet, and sequence restrictions remain satisfied. The engine evaluates the full position rather than relying on a visual shortcut or an unsupported solvability claim.
- Chequers opens from a versioned seeded position built for Twenty-five same-suit bidirectional piles are paired with Ace-up and King-down foundations; the first four tableau vacancies are forcibly refilled from the otherwise inaccessible talon. Its game ID, rules profile, and deal identity are stored together so restart recreates the same opening without a server request.
- Every Chequers action is checked against the current board, available material, and this defining restriction: Twenty-five same-suit bidirectional piles are paired with Ace-up and King-down foundations; the first four tableau vacancies are forcibly refilled from the otherwise inaccessible talon. Invalid, stale, or post-terminal actions leave the position unchanged.

Strategy tips
- A practical Chequers plan is to preserve several legal continuations around Twenty-five same-suit bidirectional piles are paired with Ace-up and King-down foundations; the first four tableau vacancies are forcibly refilled from the otherwise inaccessible talon. Use the deterministic hint to inspect one legal action, then compare how it affects the documented objective before committing.
- A common Chequers error is to ignore the boundary rule that Twenty-five same-suit bidirectional piles are paired with Ace-up and King-down foundations; the first four tableau vacancies are forcibly refilled from the otherwise inaccessible talon. Undo is useful for studying that decision, while restart deliberately preserves the original seeded position.
- Near the end of Chequers, recount the remaining obligations needed until every card reaches the foundation target while the profile's access, packet, and sequence restrictions remain satisfied. Check the boundary rule after every final placement or transfer because terminal status is enforced immediately.
