This strategy focuses on the pace of shifting your checkers with absolutely no efforts to hit or block your competitor’s pieces. The best time to employ this plan is when you think you can move your own pieces quicker than your opposition does: when 1) you have a fewer checkers on the game board; 2) all your chips have past your competitor’s chips; or 3) the opposing player doesn’t employ the hitting or blocking strategy.
