The Running Game Tactic

The goal of the Running Game strategy is to entice all your pieces into your inside board and pull them off as fast as you could. This plan concentrates on the speed of shifting your pieces with no efforts to hit or barricade your competitor’s checkers. The ideal scenario to employ this tactic is when you think you might be able to shift your own chips quicker than your opposing player does: when 1) you have a fewer chips on the game board; 2) all your chips have past your opponent’s checkers; or 3) your opponent doesn’t employ the hitting or blocking strategy.

The Blocking Game Technique

The primary aim of the blocking technique, by the title, is to stop your competitor’s pieces, temporarily, while not worrying about shifting your chips quickly. As soon as you have established the barrier for the opponent’s movement with a few pieces, you can shift your other checkers rapidly from the game board. The player should also have a good strategy when to extract and move the chips that you employed for blocking. The game gets intriguing when your competitor utilizes the same blocking technique.
