In checkers, a king can move any number of squares diagonally forward or backward, as long as the path is unobstructed. This gives the king greater mobility compared to a regular piece, which can only move forward diagonally. Additionally, a king can jump over an opponent's piece to capture it, similar to regular pieces, but it can do so in both directions.
