Enthusiasts use different tactics in the differing parts of a match dependent on your positions and opponent’s.
The Running Game Plan
The aim of the Running Game tactic is to lure all your checkers into your inside board and pull them off as quick as you could. This tactic focuses on the pace of shifting your chips with no time spent to hit or stop your competitor’s chips. The best scenario to employ this tactic is when you believe you might be able to shift your own checkers quicker than the opponent does: when 1) you have a fewer chips on the game board; 2) all your chips have moved beyond your competitor’s pieces; or 3) the opposing player does not use the hitting or blocking plan.
The Blocking Game Technique
The main aim of the blocking strategy, by the name, is to block the competitor’s pieces, temporarily, while not worrying about moving your checkers rapidly. Once you’ve created the blockade for your opponent’s movement with a few pieces, you can move your other checkers rapidly off the board. You should also have a clear plan when to back off and shift the checkers that you utilized for the blockade. The game gets interesting when your opponent uses the same blocking strategy.
