How far you will be able to shift your checkers is left to the numbers from rolling the dice, and the way you shift your pieces are determined by your overall playing tactics. Enthusiasts use differing tactics in the different stages of a match dependent on your positions and opponent’s.
The Running Game Technique
The goal of the Running Game technique is to bring all your chips into your inner board and pull them off as fast as you can. This technique concentrates on the pace of shifting your checkers with absolutely no efforts to hit or block your opponent’s chips. The ideal scenario to employ this tactic is when you think you can move your own pieces faster than your opponent does: when 1) you have a fewer chips on the game board; 2) all your checkers have past your opponent’s pieces; or 3) your opposing player does not use the hitting or blocking technique.
The Blocking Game Strategy
The primary goal of the blocking strategy, by the name, is to block the competitor’s pieces, temporarily, while not worrying about shifting your chips quickly. Once you have created the barrier for the opponent’s movement with a couple of chips, you can move your other checkers quickly from the game board. The player should also have a clear strategy when to withdraw and shift the pieces that you utilized for blocking. The game gets interesting when the opposition uses the same blocking tactic.
