Checkers

You must take the capture that takes the most

Where more than one capture is open to you, take the one that removes the most pieces; if two are equal, choose freely. American checkers already forces you to capture when you can, but it lets you pick WHICH capture, so a player can deliberately take the small jump to avoid opening a line. Requiring the maximum removes that dodge and is how international draughts has always handled it.
