I kinda wonder if the old guy isn't just demented and making up the rules at the end.....

LOL, dude, that you can even wonder that tells you HOW DEEP the old man's game is...

Because wondering that sets up the next "Oh, I got so lucky with that one! But that puts me up double now! I must give you a chance to win it back! Double or nothing again!"...

Rules actually seem straight forward.
---Pieces start on the home rows and advance one square at a time.
---Single enemy pieces can be jumped, but two or more together cannot; jumps have to land on an empty space on the other side
---If jump can be taken, it must be taken; jumps can be serial, taking one piece after another...
---One a piece reaches the opponent's home row (either by jumping or moving one space at a time), it's "kinged" and its jumps and movement can be sort of like a rook's---from any one point over an enemy piece to any space on the same column or row.

So the whole trick here is that he gets the other guy to take his pieces---but in dead end gambits---the "takes" don't lead anywhere.

And then, with his one, lone little piece---and the field wide open (meaning lots of one piece jumps)---he moves in for the kill.,

So I had written out why I was suspicious, but after a bit of reasearch, this appears to be Turkish draughts and the old guys moves are legit.

Translation: 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8, motherfucker you got rekt!

Hmm it seems to me that the "queening" makes the piece VERY powerful, Black makes it across with two pieces, and they should have been be very powerful, but the "queened" pieces have no outs.(ie no white pieces in their lanes to attack).

Dead gambits are the worst, but when you understand the concept you usually see it coming.

Like being lured in SC2 while you're picking off units during skirmishes; you think you're doing SUCH a good job killing the enemy units, but you over extend and BAM, literally dead end. Some people just aren't ready for the flank. Gotta learn when to back off.

This is also how trolling on the internet works.

Erm, black is jumping two in one movement, but it's two moves strung together. They don't double jump 2 pieces side by side, they are always separated. It also explains why the black diagonal movements don't take the diagonal piece, they take the two pieces in a right angle move.

I'm guessing hitting the far side allows unlimited length of movement and reverse movement, but you can still only jump 1 piece.
