The Running Game Strategy
The aim of the Running Game plan is to entice all your pieces into your inner board and bear them off as quickly as you can. This strategy focuses on the speed of shifting your chips with absolutely no efforts to hit or block your competitor’s pieces. The ideal scenario to employ this technique is when you believe you might be able to move your own checkers quicker than the opponent does: when 1) you have a fewer pieces on the game board; 2) all your chips have past your competitor’s chips; or 3) your opponent does not use the hitting or blocking strategy.
The Blocking Game Tactic
The primary aim of the blocking tactic, by its name, is to block your competitor’s chips, temporarily, while not fretting about shifting your chips rapidly. After you have created the blockade for the opponent’s movement with a few chips, you can move your other checkers rapidly from the board. The player should also have an apparent strategy when to extract and shift the pieces that you used for blocking. The game gets interesting when the opponent uses the same blocking strategy.
