Enthusiasts use differing plans in the different stages of a match based on your positions and opponent’s.
The Running Game Plan
The goal of the Running Game plan is to entice all your pieces into your home board and pull them off as fast as you can. This tactic focuses on the pace of shifting your chips with no time spent to hit or barricade your opponent’s checkers. The ideal time to employ this tactic is when you believe you can shift your own pieces quicker than the opposition does: when 1) you have a fewer checkers on the board; 2) all your chips have moved beyond your competitor’s chips; or 3) the opposing player does not use the hitting or blocking strategy.
The Blocking Game Plan
The primary aim of the blocking tactic, by the title, is to stop your opponent’s chips, temporarily, while not worrying about shifting your pieces rapidly. After you’ve established the barrier for the opponent’s movement with a couple of checkers, you can shift your other chips swiftly off the game board. The player will need to also have a good strategy when to withdraw and move the pieces that you used for blocking. The game gets intriguing when the opposition utilizes the same blocking tactic.
