The Running Game Tactic
The aim of the Running Game tactic is to entice all your checkers into your inner board and get them off as quickly as you can. This plan concentrates on the speed of moving your chips with little or no efforts to hit or barricade your opponent’s checkers. The best time to employ this technique is when you believe you can shift your own chips quicker than the opposition does: when 1) you have a fewer checkers on the board; 2) all your pieces have past your opponent’s chips; or 3) your opposing player does not use the hitting or blocking plan.

Once you’ve established the barrier for the competitor’s movement with a couple of checkers, you can move your other pieces swiftly off the board. The player will need to also have a clear strategy when to extract and shift the pieces that you used for the blockade. The game gets intriguing when your opposition uses the same blocking technique.
