Enthusiasts use a number of strategies in the differing stages of a game based on your positions and opponent’s.

The Running Game Tactic

The goal of the Running Game tactic is to bring all your pieces into your inside board and pull them off as fast as you can. This tactic focuses on the speed of moving your pieces with little or no time spent to hit or stop your competitor’s checkers. The best time to employ this technique is when you think you might be able to move your own chips quicker than your opposition does: when 1) you have less chips on the board; 2) all your chips have moved beyond your competitor’s pieces; or 3) your opponent doesn’t use the hitting or blocking tactic.

The Blocking Game Tactic

The main goal of the blocking technique, by the name, is to stop your competitor’s pieces, temporarily, while not worrying about moving your chips quickly.

The player should also have an apparent strategy when to extract and shift the chips that you used for blocking. The game gets intriguing when the opposition utilizes the same blocking technique.
