The Running Game Plan

The aim of the Running Game strategy is to bring all your pieces into your inside board and pull them off as quick as you can. This strategy focuses on the speed of shifting your pieces with absolutely no time spent to hit or block your opponent’s checkers. The ideal scenario to use this technique is when you believe you might be able to shift your own checkers a lot faster than the opposing player does: when 1) you have a fewer pieces on the board; 2) all your checkers have past your competitor’s chips; or 3) the opposing player doesn’t use the hitting or blocking tactic.

The primary aim of the blocking tactic, by the name, is to stop the opponent’s chips, temporarily, not fretting about shifting your pieces rapidly. After you have established the blockage for the competitor’s movement with a couple of checkers, you can move your other checkers rapidly from the board. You should also have a clear plan when to extract and move the chips that you employed for blocking. The game gets interesting when the opposition utilizes the same blocking tactic.
