The reality is, however, that most individual checkers will not successfully make it to the other end of the board to be crowned because the opposition will jump them and knock them out of the game. Once it is crowned because it has successfully made it to the other side of the board, it will have the right and authority to maneuver and function at a much higher level than it could prior to being crowned.
That is because each checker was created to become a king.
When you purchase a game of checkers, you’ll notice that on the top of each piece is the insignia of a crown.
