Why do people leave these comments? Almost all checkers players also play chess, but for some reason, chess players rarely play checkers. Yes, checkers takes skill. You would lose against either one of these people 10 games out of 10, because they are better players, because they have honed skill in the game. To some degree, the skill in checkers is identical to chess, the same tactics apply: control the center, weaken your opponent's structure, force your opponent into disadvantageous moves, etc. On the other hand, there is a different set of strategies for when you have fewer unique pieces. In chess, it's about coordinating individual pieces together to make an attack. In checkers, it's about coordinating the entire board to make an attack.

Stop hating it dose take skill it literally the same thinking

RIDICULE ! il ne cherche rien ! il ne fait que pionner à gauche et à droite en attendant une eventuelle erreur de Georgiev !

This is draughts, where you are not only allowed to capture backwards, but you must capture whenever there is a piece that can be taken. In this game, there are moments where the winner uses this to his advantage, he forces a backwards capture that then pushes a threatening piece away from him, opening up the structure for a double capture, and then leaving white defenseless against black's kinging opportunity.

no it's a checkers

@@svetlanaduscov2564 Thank you.

Also, like chess, what is most interesting about any given checkers/draughts game is the game you didn't see instead of the game you did see. There are lots of moments here where either one of the players could have swept the entire board, but they saw those movements in their heads and they blocked them on the board.
