The Running Game Tactic

The goal of the Running Game plan is to bring all your chips into your inside board and pull them off as fast as you could. This tactic focuses on the pace of advancing your pieces with little or no time spent to hit or block your opponent’s pieces. The ideal scenario to use this technique is when you think you can move your own pieces a lot faster than the opposing player does: when 1) you have less pieces on the game board; 2) all your checkers have moved beyond your competitor’s checkers; or 3) the opponent doesn’t employ the hitting or blocking technique.

The Blocking Game Tactic

The primary goal of the blocking tactic, by the title, is to stop your opponent’s pieces, temporarily, not fretting about moving your checkers quickly. As soon as you’ve created the barrier for the opponent’s movement with a couple of checkers, you can shift your other pieces swiftly from the board. The player should also have a good strategy when to extract and shift the pieces that you used for the blockade. The game becomes intriguing when the opposition utilizes the same blocking technique.
