Damate is a version of Checkers (Draughts) played with Chess pieces on a 10 x 10 board. The goal is to capture all of your opponent's pieces or to leave your opponent with no legal moves. Each Chess piece (except Knights, which are not used) has the similar noncapturing move as it does in Chess, but captures are either by short or long jump, and are required. A piece may make multiple captures in a turn, as in Checkers.
 
Damate is a violent game, usually decided by a single massive capture series by a Major-Damate (Queen).
 
Game of V.R. Parton (1961), taken from description in D.B. Pritchard's "Encyclopedia of Chess Variants".
 
Note: Pritchard's description made no mention of promotion for the Pawn equivalents (Advancing-Damates). However, it seems unlikely that a game that contains elements of both Chess and Checkers would lack promotion. Accordingly, there are variants with and without promotion, with promotion being the default. Also, Pritchard says nothing about any requirement for a capturing sequence to capture the maximum number of pieces. Variants with and without are also supplied, but the default game is without since there seems to be no reason to assume that there was such a rule.
