A spectacular combination in the Bristol opening (11-16, 24-20, 16-19)

[@Sheilawisz]

Bloody jump! Wow! That's thirteen moves deep, so you need to be a very powerful checkers player to see it from the red to move and win position. I wish I could show this to the entire world! Thanks Ryan, I am not playing much these days, but I want to continue to cultivate my love for checkers.

[@azcheckers]

Thanks, Sheila! More videos just like this one will be coming this summer. Hopefully they will reignite your spark in checkers!

[@robtaylor9782]

You speak about visualisation, which I find so difficult to achieve, brilliant vlog again 🎉

[@azcheckers]

Thanks, Rob -- patience, experience, and repetition are the three keys to improving visualization. Don't get discouraged!

[@leeqawecapu1330]

Thank you so much, ever since I have been watching your videos my playing has now improved quite remarkable.

[@azcheckers]

Thank you very much for the feedback -- that is great to hear! If you would like to see any specific openings or variations covered on this channel, please let me know!

[@leeqawecapu1330]

@@azcheckers the only challenge I'm currently experiencing now is the visualisation in the end game. I often lose my end games due to certain positions. is there any computer program you recommend I should try so that can learn faster, at the moment I have checkerboard but it won't help me with fewer pieces.

[@ConspiratorialReport]

Nice setup! Very appreciated!

[@profoundmoves]

Awesome video, i THOROUGHLY enjoyed it.

[@azcheckers]

Thank you, my friend! I hope you are doing well. Have you been in communication with George lately? We all miss his videos!

[@profoundmoves]

@@azcheckers I spoke to George on Thursday, he is doing good. I will tell him you say hello.

[@azcheckers]

@@profoundmoves Thank you, and I am glad to hear he is doing good! Please give him my best regards.

@@thomasengel1459 I popped in Flyordie briefly tonight. Other than that, I haven't played online in awhile. I'll try to get on Playok this summer -- it will be great to get some games in!

[@GaryPollard-o3c]

I had the 18-22 but could not see anything else i have to admit. Really good content.

[@azcheckers]

Very nice, Gary! The first move in a coup is usually the hardest to find, so the fact you were able to spot it is impressive!

[@majomajo2332]

Hi! Great to see a new wonderful video, thanks a lot!

[@azcheckers]

I hope you are doing well!

[@majomajo2332]

​@@azcheckersI do! Finally summer is here 😊 Hope you are fine, too. Long time no see!

[@majomajo2332]

Sorry my friend, I lost connection somehow. Nice to see you on fly or die and play against you!! any recommendation would be very welcome. Hope to see you soon

[@azcheckers]

@@majomajo2332 Yes, I think the servers went down. I enjoyed the games and hope to play again soon!

Hi Ryan, First of all a warm welcome, glad to see you. Your analysis opens new perspective to view to the game. The Map you are able to create by moving 7-10, also also arise in Lady and Laird (After black doctor denied) and I usually play 7-10. " Stydying about any subject is like going to a journey, when you cover some distance you realise still miles are left unseen & undiscovered " After White's 29-25, I like to respond by 9-13 and it is a very different yet unique perspective to this game. Nevertheless, I would try to incorporate your variation in games specially after 11-15, 24-20 and 15-19 (exchanges) which I refers as Black Dyke. Thank you from *Path_FinDr*

[@azcheckers]

I always appreciate your insight and comments, my friend! Yes, transitions and understanding them is a key to unlocking the secrets in this great game. I also like 9-13 as a counter to 29-25, although white perhaps has a bit more edge and scope.

[@aclearpathtofollow8878]

7:41 After this pitch and 25-18, red still has a good game with the 6-9 sacrifice, without all the fancy fireworks, just in case there were those like me who couldn't see the whole sequence :)

[@azcheckers]

You are correct, thank you for pointing that out! 6-9 at that stage will also technically win, but it's maybe not as clean cut as making the additional pitch with 23-27 first. I agree that it is very natural to just take the 2 for 3 right away!

Can you do videos on Brazilian checkers

[@azcheckers]

Unfortunately I do not know much about Brazilian checkers. I cover American checkers / English draughts exclusively on this channel. However, I believe there are channels and videos dedicated to Brazilian checkers.

[@kashmir352]

I like your video ❤

[@Ash_619]

I wish one day you become a world checkers champion . 🙂

[@azcheckers]

Thank you, but perhaps you will be the world champion someday! If you have the passion and determination, you can do it!

[@Ash_619]

@@azcheckers Thanks for inspirational words. I am just new played over 700-800 games online and now reading my first book. Your videos inspired me to do so.

[@azcheckers]

​@@Ash_619 That is amazing to hear! Keep up the good work -- you will be at 1,000 games soon. That is a significant milestone!

[@KirimanLife]

For a beginner, it is difficult to master and implement. But interesting

[@azcheckers]

Yes, I agree. But patience and repetition will help!
