Pearl “Won” the Game

So I was looking for images for an answer in my Ask Problematic Pearl series, and I was going through Giant Woman in my Final Cut Pro where I noticed something suspicious. At the beginning of the episode, Pearl and Amethyst are playing checkers.

Amethyst does a good move and calls Pearl a sore loser, which makes Pearl mad.

She then says that she’s not a sore loser since she just won the game and goes from here:

to here:

moving with this trajectory:

So it looks like she took out all of Amethyst’s pieces, however something seems wrong. Let’s go through Pearl’s movements. The first three moves are all right.

But then Pearl does this:

She jumps backwards which she can’t do!

Her piece is not kinged either, so she just jumped backwards in order to take out a piece in order to win the game. Pearl just cheated!
