The Running Game Tactic
The aim of the Running Game plan is to entice all your pieces into your inside board and pull them off as quick as you could. This plan focuses on the speed of moving your pieces with no time spent to hit or barricade your opponent’s chips. The best scenario to use this technique is when you think you might be able to shift your own checkers quicker than your opposing player does: when 1) you have less checkers on the board; 2) all your pieces have past your competitor’s checkers; or 3) your opposing player doesn’t use the hitting or blocking plan.
The Blocking Game Technique
The main goal of the blocking tactic, by the title, is to block your opponent’s checkers, temporarily, while not fretting about shifting your chips quickly. After you have established the blockage for your opponent’s movement with a few checkers, you can move your other checkers swiftly from the game board. You should also have a good strategy when to withdraw and move the checkers that you utilized for the blockade. The game becomes intriguing when the opposition utilizes the same blocking strategy.
