The Running Game Technique
The goal of the Running Game strategy is to lure all your checkers into your inner board and get them off as fast as you can. This tactic concentrates on the speed of advancing your chips with little or no time spent to hit or barricade your competitor’s chips. The ideal scenario to employ this technique is when you think you might be able to move your own checkers faster than the opposition does: when 1) you have a fewer pieces on the board; 2) all your checkers have past your opponent’s pieces; or 3) the opponent does not employ the hitting or blocking plan.
The Blocking Game Strategy
The main aim of the blocking strategy, by its name, is to block the opponent’s pieces, temporarily, not worrying about moving your pieces rapidly. Once you have established the barrier for the competitor’s movement with a couple of checkers, you can move your other checkers quickly from the board. The player should also have a clear strategy when to withdraw and move the chips that you used for blocking. The game becomes interesting when the competitor utilizes the same blocking strategy.
