TWO-PLAYER CHINESE CHECKERS: SETUP AND TWO OPENING TURNS

Use the original 121-hole printable board. Row numbers 01-17 run top to bottom; letters start at A at the left of EACH row. Labels are worksheet-specific.

SELECTED OPENING VERSION
10 red pegs in the top triangle; 10 blue pegs in the opposite bottom triangle.
Other four triangles start empty and may be used, following the empty-unused-triangle option in Masters Traditional Games.
One adjacent step OR a chain of ordinary adjacent-piece hops by the same moving piece per turn. Bridges remain. No long jumps.
Once a piece enters its own destination triangle, keep it there in this version.
Before a full game, record the set's destination-blocking rule or agree one. Masters proposes a specific anti-spoiling swap; it is not an ordinary capture or permission to land on any occupied hole.

TWO-PLAYER STARTING BOARD
Red: 01A, 02A, 02B, 03A, 03B, 03C, 04A, 04B, 04C, 04D
Blue: 14A, 14B, 14C, 14D, 15A, 15B, 15C, 16A, 16B, 17A
All other labelled holes are empty. Total remains 20 pieces.

AFTER RED'S ADJACENT STEP
Red: 01A, 02A, 02B, 03A, 03B, 03C, 04A, 04C, 04D, 05G
Blue: 14A, 14B, 14C, 14D, 15A, 15B, 15C, 16A, 16B, 17A
All other labelled holes are empty. Total remains 20 pieces.

AFTER BLUE'S ORDINARY HOP
Red: 01A, 02A, 02B, 03A, 03B, 03C, 04A, 04C, 04D, 05G
Blue: 13H, 14A, 14B, 14C, 14D, 15A, 15C, 16A, 16B, 17A
All other labelled holes are empty. Total remains 20 pieces.

TURN 1: Red 04B -> 05G, one adjacent step. 04B becomes empty.
TURN 2: Blue 15B -> 13H over adjacent Blue 14C. 15B becomes empty; 14C remains occupied.
These are independently constructed legal opening examples, not a recorded match, a forced line or a best-opening claim.
