Capturing is mandatory in Turkish Draughts to keep the game sharp and decisive — if you can jump an enemy piece, you must. On top of that, when several captures are possible you must choose the one that takes the most pieces, which is the forced maximum-capture rule. This turns every move into a calculation: a tempting jump might be the required one even if it exposes you. Skilled players use the rule as a weapon, offering a piece so the opponent is forced to capture into a losing multi-jump. Because you cannot decline a capture, planning ahead and counting jumps is essential.
