The Running Game Technique

The aim of the Running Game plan is to entice all your checkers into your home board and bear them off as quick as you could. This plan concentrates on the speed of shifting your checkers with absolutely no efforts to hit or stop your competitor’s chips. The ideal time to use this strategy is when you think you might be able to move your own chips quicker than your opponent does: when 1) you have a fewer checkers on the board; 2) all your chips have past your opponent’s chips; or 3) your opponent doesn’t use the hitting or blocking tactic.

The main goal of the blocking technique, by the title, is to block your opponent’s checkers, temporarily, while not worrying about moving your pieces rapidly. After you have created the blockage for the competitor’s movement with a couple of pieces, you can shift your other pieces swiftly off the board. The player really should also have a good strategy when to withdraw and shift the chips that you used for the blockade. The game gets interesting when your opponent utilizes the same blocking tactic.
