Yes, there are 3 major differences.

Draughts is played on a 10 by 10 board.

In draughts, nonkings are allowed to capture backwards.

Kings move like (chess)queens. So it's allowed to pass over 2 empty
squares,capture a piece on the 3rd square, then change direction (only on the
square immediately after the captured piece ) fly over 3 empty squares again,
and capture another piece (and stopping on the square immediately after the
captured piece).
