Can you split a king in checkers?

No, you cannot split a king in checkers.

Here's why:

* Kings move differently: Regular checkers can move diagonally forward one space, while kings can move diagonally forward or backward. They don't have the ability to "split" into multiple pieces.

* No splitting in the rules: The rules of checkers don't have any provision for splitting a king or creating additional pieces.

So, a king remains a single piece throughout the game, even though it has special movement abilities.
