Questions about the different kinds of checkers

Hello Fellow BGA's,
In regards to checkers, what is the normal one?
Basic rules:
- If there is an opportunity of snatching the opponents piece(s), the player have to do it. And if the player misses (doesn't see) it, he/she loses that piece
- Only kings can move backwards
- Kings can fly
- Kings always take first. As in, if a player have two opportunites of snatching piece(s) in a move, with either the King or a normal piece, the player have to use the King. And if a player misses it, he/she loses the king
What kind of checkers is this in here?

All/Most of them? A whole lot of different variations have been implemented on BGA, look at the options to identify which one is used at the table.

Why are you answering a question with a question...
Given that you obviously don't know the answer, please keep quiet

You seem to be unaware that not all questions are expected to be answered.
You have your answer, with which you can resolve your inquiry. Educate yourself.

Quoted from the 'how to play'
International Checkers (10x10 board, men can capture backwards, kings can fly, one must capture as many pieces as possible)
Straight Checkers (8x8 board, men cannot capture backwards, kings can capture backwards but cannot fly, one must capture if possible but not necessarily as many pieces as possible)
Brazilian Checkers (8x8 board, men can capture backwards, kings can fly, one must capture as many pieces as possible)
Russian Checkers (8x8 board, men can capture backwards, kings can fly and go on capturing immediately after getting crowned, one must capture if possible but not necessarily as many pieces as possible).
And it doesn't seem we have it here. (Only kings can move backwards & kings can fly)

N_Faker, I haven't been on BGA terribly long but I have read a good chunk of the forums. I am frequently astounded at how many people fling rude comments at you (presumably not knowing your position here) when you are helping them. And given your position, I applaud your patience in handling them.
Cheers!

Okay. Thank you very much. Kind of weird though, as it would make much more sense. But, it is what it is I guess
