Checker to d4?

I'm under-zero in checkers, no way I can solve this. Seems impossible.

ChessStakhanov,  I think you should specify the variant: English checkers, Russian checkers, Italian, Jamaican ... There's no standard in checkers. Kings can fly or not? Men can capture backward or don't? Are there any priorities concerning captures, or I can chose the capture I like.

ChessStakhanov

Russian Checkers, of course.

I think to agree with Serperior, e3-d4 seems the move, Blue must play c1:g5. Then White d4-c5 and g3-h4 next, so winning a king. Then... Blue wins the game?
