Laska*
Emanuel Lasker developed Laska in 1911 as a variant of the checkers family. Players start on a 7x7 board with eleven pieces each, moving them diagonally forward. Captured pieces remain on the board and can be reintroduced later. The game ends when a player cannot make a move or has no pieces left.
