What is the game being played here? The comments from the idiots visiting the site are mostly racist, so I stopped reading them in hope of finding an answer.

I assume there is a rule that you must jump if you have the opportunity to, otherwise, the other player must have seen it coming.

If you’ll read the comments, you’ll see that it’s dama, also known as Turkish checkers.
