What is AntiDraughts ?

Hello, my Dear Draughts Friends!

I want to know what is AntiDraughts in lidraughts.org ? Is it like AntiChess in lichess.org where you have to forcibly capture a piece and the player whose all pieces are captured first, wins the game? Am I right? I am wrong, please correct me!

Thanks.

You're right. The goal is to get rid of own pieces or get imprisoned (stalemated). Yet, there are some positions where a natural draw can occur in antidraughts.
One of the most frequent draw position is where each side has 1 king placed on double corner edge squares (`1 or 45, 6 or 50). In that case a player must swing kings to opposite side of the board (1-45, 6-50, 45-1, 50-6) which results in threefold repetition. Otherwise, if a player makes other move, he or she gets lost, because an opponent will give away a king.
