The Running Game Strategy

The aim of the Running Game tactic is to entice all your pieces into your home board and get them off as quickly as you can. This plan concentrates on the speed of advancing your checkers with no time spent to hit or block your competitor’s pieces. The ideal scenario to use this tactic is when you think you might be able to shift your own chips faster than the opponent does: when 1) you have a fewer pieces on the board; 2) all your checkers have moved beyond your competitor’s chips; or 3) your opposing player doesn’t use the hitting or blocking technique.

The Blocking Game Strategy

The primary goal of the blocking tactic, by the title, is to block your opponent’s chips, temporarily, while not fretting about moving your pieces rapidly. As soon as you’ve created the blockade for your competitor’s movement with a few pieces, you can move your other checkers swiftly from the game board. You should also have a clear plan when to extract and move the checkers that you employed for the blockade. The game becomes interesting when your opponent utilizes the same blocking strategy.
