Enthusiasts use a number of plans in the differing stages of a match dependent on your positions and opponent’s.
The Running Game Technique

This technique focuses on the speed of shifting your chips with no efforts to hit or stop your opponent’s pieces.

Once you have established the barrier for your competitor’s movement with a few checkers, you can shift your other pieces swiftly from the board. The player will need to also have a good plan when to extract and move the pieces that you used for the blockade. The game becomes intriguing when your opponent uses the same blocking strategy.
