The Running Game Technique

The aim of the Running Game strategy is to lure all your checkers into your home board and get them off as quickly as you could. This tactic focuses on the speed of moving your pieces with absolutely no efforts to hit or block your opponent's checkers. The best 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 game board; 2) all your chips have past your competitor's checkers; or 3) your opponent does not use the hitting or blocking strategy.

The Blocking Game Plan

The main goal of the blocking tactic, by the name, is to stop the opponent's chips, temporarily, while not fretting about moving your pieces quickly. Once you have created the blockage for your opponent's movement with a few checkers, you can shift your other chips rapidly from the game board. The player will need to also have a good plan when to back off and shift the checkers that you utilized for the blockade. The game gets intriguing when your competitor utilizes the same blocking technique.
