The Running Game Plan

The aim of the Running Game plan is to entice all your checkers into your home board and pull them off as quickly as you can. This tactic concentrates on the pace of moving your chips with no time spent to hit or stop your competitor’s pieces. The ideal scenario to use this plan is when you believe you can move your own pieces quicker than the opposition does: when 1) you have a fewer chips on the board; 2) all your chips have past your competitor’s pieces; or 3) the opponent does not employ the hitting or blocking strategy.

The Blocking Game Tactic

The main goal of the blocking plan, by the name, is to block your opponent’s chips, temporarily, not worrying about moving your checkers rapidly. Once you have created the blockage for the opponent’s movement with a couple of pieces, you can shift your other checkers rapidly off the game board. The player will need to also have a good strategy when to extract and move the checkers that you used for blocking. The game becomes intriguing when your competitor uses the same blocking strategy.
