As a chess player I appreciate you using the chess way of naming the squares instead of the standard checkers names for the squares, which tend to confuse me.
Thanks for the videos! I love Draughts/Checkers. At 1:52 White can even up again after the trade with a two for one with C7-B6 but ofcourse leaves the double corner wide open for black to get a crown and strand the piece on F4. Also at 6:06 black can play and win easy by C1-D2 forcing White to jump from B3xC1 getting a short lived crown/king, black allows the king who is compelled to jump in the next move and take the piece by then playing C7-D6. Black king has to jump C2xE3 and black has triple jumps from F2 xxxD8 and king. Then White H4xE2 jump and then Black jumps G1xE3
I like to force trade pieces early in case my opponent has a go-to strategy. That way they most likely can't use it. And my first move is always G3 to H4
This was really helpful never thought of trading a piece for a piece I always thought that wasn’t a good thing, or using the forced jump rule too my advantage!
Wow, thanks for the great tutorial! My checkers ability was about the same as the Lev.5 Computer in my checkers app, and after I watched this video, and I can now beat the Lev.5 Computer but still lose to Lev.6 Computer! There are 12 levels in totoal lol i still need practice
I never cared for checkers before but recently my five year old asked me to teach him. Now I am obsessed with checkers. My five year old created a monster.
4:38 never put your checkers into a group like that (g5, f4, h4 g3) especially if its the opponent's turn after you create that formation. If the opponent moves d5 to e6 you jump his piece and he gets two of yours with the h6 piece and he'll still get your piece that's now in d5 no matter what for a 3 for 1 trade
Thankyou for this. This helps alot tho its so late. Butif i didnt search up this strategies i wont get to 1500+ ratings in row playing and beat most of the higher ranks 😌 when i was just moving frm here and there i always lost and they always lead me now ik most of the strategies i can read their moves after a week 💪🏻😌
Compulsory capture is one of the fundamental rules of checkers. And this applies to all variants of the game. The whole strategic richness of checkers is based on this.
Awesome. Please do these tips apply to international draughts? I mean with the bigger board? Can you please do something similar for international draughts? Thanks
this do not apply to international draughts.but why would you play international draughts when english draughts is way more popular and to my taste is more pleasing game o play.(and im a retired chess professional.)
MUST the king(or queen whatever its called) eat when it can, or CAN it stay foot and let another piece move?? I know the other pieces must eat but is it different with the king?
If you are playing with forced jumps, it would need to jump if given the opportunity, unless there are 2 forced jump options then you can pick only one of them.
6:14 the king moved into the space between two of the opponent pieces, there was also an opponent piece right in front of the king after he moved, so then the opponent can easily cut backwards and kill his king... I’m pretty sure that that’s how this game works. It’s says that in ever rule book of all my checkers games. Did he like make a mistake there? Or is that what he thinks is the rules?
what do you mean cut backwards? the opponent can't kill his king, to do that one of the opponent piece in front of him should have to be a king too.. doesn't matter what piece the opponent moves the king will be able to kill either one of those 2 pieces near him safely
Serza but he can't jump backwards.. this is american checkers, not international or brazilian or etc where a normal checker can capture by jumping backwards. in the american version only the king can move backwards and he can't make long movements like in international rules
I usually have fun with checkers but some folk like to sit back and wait till you move a back piece, then they snag a king and just move back and forth till you run out of turns. It’s the most boring strategy and gets rid of the last part, where each of you have nothing but kings and are trying to trap each other, which is my favorite part.
My friend says that if the enemy is trapped and can't go anywhere anymore on his turn, it's a draw, but with that rule, I can't win, also can you eat backwards?
Mj Yumping If the enemy is trapped on his last peice, you automatically win. Your friend is wrong. The reson is that yoy can technically move forward and will no longer be trapped, but will be jumped, winning you the game. It isn't a draw
The way I always beat people, especially noobs, is by not moving your back row until you have too. I’ve always noticed who ever moved the back row first tended to lose first
Some of your ideas are okay but there are a lot of flaws. The way you count the center includes non-game squares. You use non-standard notation. The idea about maintaining all four back row pieces is very unsound--- you are then effectively playing 'down' two pieces. Only trading off if you are up two pieces? If you're up two pieces it's pretty hard to lose; normally one is enough and you trade off right away if the trades are sound. Your example of 'moving pieces up in a group' is flawed; the position as shown allows an immediate 3 for 1. And your line (usually called a Dyke position) is on the wrong diagonal and is actually quite easily broken up by the opponent. Study a book like "Checkers for the Novice" to get some sound instruction.
I don't really agree. A player can dominate the center and still lose. If the other player sneaks past the defence on the sides and get a king, that player can win. I have played with 5 pieces against 7 pieces after I lost the center, and I won.
OMG I just need to learn how to play checkers !! Every video I find is a child sucking on a sip cup !! 😂 wtf someone help .

He didn’t mention this, but if you never move your back row (unless you have too) it gives you a huge advantage over your opponent

in the Philippines, when you get "dama" or king, it can move like a bishop for any number of squares and we can eat backwards with normal pieces
wow! That sounds like a fun variation.
hahaha true!
im half filipino and i play both ways :)
In Brazil, it has the exactly same rules of phillipine checkers, just with the big diagonal being of a1 to h8
Guys it take alot ALOT of time and playing to become a good checker player.
Lies.
6:57 correct me if I'm wrong but that white pieces position is god damn impossible. At least with US rules.
its not impossible but white would have play bad to get there i agree
@@smalltown7773 how did the piece get to g5?
@@terrylemaster8151 magix
central 8 squares? personally I wouldn't count the red squares...
That's a good point. But I use a similar strategy for beginners in Chess, so I'm in the habit of calling them 8 squares.
These were some very good tips! Thank you
Glad to help! ;)
Does a player have to jump if the opportunity is there to jump?
In some games I've played yes. It is often optional. It's called 'forced jump'
Compulsory capture is one of the fundamental rules of checkers. And this applies to all variants of the game.

Debora Solnik thats false. At minute 06:35 he can take king by jumping backwards over king.

It won't! The piece on e5 isn't a king and it can't move backwards

I love checker bro.
nice!
I ended here after a rage quit
In the rule "Dont be afriad" he was wrong when he moved the king because where I come from you cant MOVE backwards but you can EAT backwards
interesting. I've never heard of that before. Thanks for sharing.
How does E5 go to D6 force the opponents checker piece jump it
Because one of the rules of the game is: if you can jump, you must
Good luck playing some check..
If your opponent were to play E7 to F6 at 6:30 tou would have lost your kingt
A normal piece can’t jump a king
correct
didn't know that
It can in your country (Slovakia). It probably depends on the specific rules.
Vernon Martina can’t jump backwards

Who else remembers the checkers on early Windows?
I remember that bomb game with theh flags on Windows 7 and the ping ball game and games from WildTanget
at 7:00 surely this is an impossible position
Perhaps. I just set it up that way as an example.
central 8 squares? Personally I wouldn't count the red squares
I want to know how to play checker badly on my friends
i forgot that most of these will be the English version i play Russian version (i haven't seen the vid but i think its the English version)
yes it is the English version.
Checkers doesn't use chess notation.
At 6:10 triple jump...
At least you can do is use an acf official checker board for the lesson !!! PLEASE !!
I don't really agree.
A player can dominate the center and still lose. If the other player sneaks past the defence on the sides and get a king, that player can win. I have played with 5 pieces against 7 pieces after I lost the center, and I won.
You are right. These are just some strategies that often work. There is always an exception to these rules.
@6:38 wtf man, E5 to C7 and your king is dead
But it's not a king, it can't go backwards.
Love it
Thanks! :)
I've never played forced jumps ever
it changes the dynamic of the game for sure. It's sometimes a pain for sure.
You lose 90% of the game's interest. I know it's counter-intuitive, but if you study checkers a little, you'll realize it.
1:53 white can trade one for two by going c7 b6 lol
How ironic that a video about winning in checkers recommends a bad move. The trade on the second move walks into a trap.
Bro i suck so much at checkers. Literally everyone beats me :/. Haven't won a single game ever.
Hopefully this helps! :)
make sure you leave no holes
Nope protect the rear... most important
Nice

Gosh darn I hate forced jumps
me too!
This is "Beyond the Basics" ?!? I don't think so!
I don’t play forced jump , so this wasn’t super helpful for me personally
That makes sense. That's one rule that is often changed depending on house rules.
