Solomon W Golomb, 1948. The most popular cross between chess and checkers. Pawns and kings move and capture as in checkers. The bishop and knight (camel) capture as in chess. The knight (camel) is a 3,1 leaper. If a checkers capture is available, a capture must be made. Win by capturing all opposing kings or rendering the opponent unable to move.
