The Running Game Strategy

The goal of the Running Game strategy is to bring all your checkers into your home board and pull them off as quickly as you could. This plan focuses on the speed of advancing your checkers with little or no time spent to hit or block your opponent’s chips. The best scenario to employ this plan is when you believe you might be able to shift your own chips a lot faster than your opposition does: when 1) you have a fewer pieces on the board; 2) all your pieces have moved beyond your competitor’s checkers; or 3) the opponent doesn’t employ the hitting or blocking plan.

The Blocking Game Plan

The main aim of the blocking technique, by the name, is to block the opponent’s chips, temporarily, while not fretting about shifting your pieces rapidly. As soon as you have created the blockage for your opponent’s movement with a couple of chips, you can shift your other pieces swiftly from the board. You will need to also have an apparent strategy when to back off and shift the checkers that you utilized for blocking. The game becomes interesting when the opposition uses the same blocking technique.
