Wow I’ve been playing this game for over a decade and I never realized that you have to jump a checker if there is an open space behind it. I would avoid jumping sometimes because I knew it was bait for a double jump lol

[@WinningCheckers]

In American checkers or English Draughts there is a must jump rule. In other versions of the game, jumping is optional.

Yeah I’m partial to the NON mandatory jump version as well because I’m bad at getting trapped into being double jumped too lol

[@dirmas.kashyap]

What should be my opening move? And what should be a great response? Btw loved your explanation.

[@WinningCheckers]

The strongest opening move is old faithful. Become an expert in winning with this opening move. Most players use it. There are 2 great responses. The 1st. is to respond with old faithful (watch the various videos and you will see that I do that all the time!). the second is when your opponent moves to position 6 or 7 as their first move. Always block them from getting into your right hand corner square. See our various videos and the upcoming ones. This is normally the weakest opening moves, because you can pin one of your opponent's checkers.

[@25achqmoiskash77]

We dont want to check your shitty videos

[@paulboro5278]

do you recommend any book? By the way, I liked the video and subscribed.

[@MrPatcws2001]

No, there are so many books that talk about the theory of playing Checkers, especially about the various openings. I suggest only one opening and 2 responses when playing second. In this way you will immediately start winning more games as you become more experienced with the subsequent moves, since you will have eliminated hundreds of different possible moves if you use all the different openings and defenses. When you start winning more, you can then start experimenting with all the possible openings eg. The Waterloo, the double corner, the dyke, the souter etc. Please let me know if you want me to record our game beforehand. Good luck!

In my country, if you choose to move your checker and not to eat the other if you have the choice, it means your checker is burned/taken out. If you choose to take only one item out of your opponent, and not more- you don't have to. But at least to take one of them out. The 'king' doesn't walk only one step ahead of the other color.. the king is able to choose wherever it chooses as long as as it is on the black lines. This game is not the real game. One checker isn't allowed to eat backwards. Play real checkers, or don't play play this at all..
