This tactic concentrates on the speed of shifting your chips with no time spent to hit or stop your opponent’s chips. The ideal time to use this tactic is when you think you might be able to shift 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 chips; or 3) the opposing player does not use the hitting or blocking strategy.

You will need to also have a good strategy when to withdraw and move the chips that you used for the blockade. The game becomes intriguing when the opposition uses the same blocking strategy.
