Enthusiasts use different techniques in the differing parts of a game depending on your positions and opponent’s.

The Running Game Strategy

The goal of the Running Game tactic is to entice all your pieces into your inside board and get them off as quickly as you can. This strategy focuses on the pace of shifting your checkers with little or no efforts to hit or stop your competitor’s checkers. The ideal scenario to use this tactic is when you believe you might be able to shift your own chips quicker than your opponent does: when 1) you have a fewer pieces on the game board; 2) all your checkers have past your competitor’s checkers; or 3) your opponent does not employ the hitting or blocking strategy.

The Blocking Game Strategy

The main goal of the blocking strategy, by its title, is to block your competitor’s chips, temporarily, not worrying about shifting your pieces rapidly. After you have created the blockage for your opponent’s movement with a couple of checkers, you can move your other checkers swiftly off the game board. You really should also have a good plan when to withdraw and shift the checkers that you utilized for the blockade. The game becomes intriguing when your opposition uses the same blocking technique.
