How far you will be able to shift your checkers is up to the numbers from tossing the dice, and how you move your pieces are decided on by your overall playing techniques. Enthusiasts use a few plans in the differing stages of a match depending on your positions and opponent’s.
The Running Game Strategy
The goal of the Running Game technique is to bring all your checkers into your inside board and bear them off as quickly as you can. This technique focuses on the speed of advancing your checkers with absolutely no efforts to hit or stop your competitor’s pieces. The best time to employ this strategy is when you believe you might be able to move your own chips quicker than the opponent does: when 1) you have a fewer checkers on the game board; 2) all your checkers have moved beyond your competitor’s checkers; or 3) your opponent does not employ the hitting or blocking technique.
The Blocking Game Plan
The main aim of the blocking strategy, by its name, is to block the competitor’s chips, temporarily, while not worrying about moving your pieces quickly. After you have created the blockage for the competitor’s movement with a few pieces, you can move your other chips rapidly off the board. You will need to also have a clear plan when to withdraw and move the checkers that you used for the blockade. The game gets intriguing when the opponent uses the same blocking technique.
