The Running Game Technique

The aim of the Running Game technique is to entice all your pieces into your inside board and pull them off as quick as you can. This strategy focuses on the pace of advancing your pieces with no time spent to hit or barricade your competitor’s checkers. The ideal scenario to employ this tactic is when you think you can move your own checkers a lot faster than your opposition does: when 1) you have less checkers on the game board; 2) all your pieces have past your opponent’s pieces; or 3) your opponent doesn’t use the hitting or blocking plan.

The Blocking Game Tactic

The main goal of the blocking technique, by its name, is to block the opponent’s pieces, temporarily, while not worrying about moving your chips quickly. As soon as you’ve created the blockage for the competitor’s movement with a few chips, you can move your other checkers swiftly off the game board. You should also have an apparent strategy when to extract and shift the pieces that you used for blocking. The game becomes intriguing when the opponent uses the same blocking tactic.
