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
Thank you! Thank you! I was excited to try these strategies against my 17-year-old son who almost always beats me and who always tells me he’s going to beat me. Well last night I played him and I actually beat him using these strategies! 😀😀😀
I’m playing someone on the iMessage games. First time I’ve ever played and now I’m hooked. Thank you for these videos. Also, if anyone has the iPhone and would like to play, let me know. 🙂
Confession: I play chess, and I used to snob and look down my nose at checker players. But the years have mellowed and matured me. Now I have as much, or even more fun playing checkers. I had no idea what I was missing out on.
Yeah. I always thought checkers is a simple game. But when I played against a strong AI, I realized that it's quite tricky and very unstable. You could lose very easily in just one wrong move (especially against maxed AI engine). Unlike in chess, you can still hold on even if you have made a huge blunder.
14. Take a thought whether you move one of your checker to the side of the board because that will only forward one square and do not control many and might be useless in the future if the enemy's chechker guard his legal path.
That is great to hear! I won $5 recently playing an acquaintance at the beach. I did warn him that I publish a checker site on UA-cam and that I have played over 30,000 games on line, but he was confident he could beat me!
Thank you for all these very educational videos. Although American checkers is the simplest version, the strategy of this game is much more subtle and profound than one might think. It takes study and practice to play it at a high level.
@@gg3582 that is a good sign that you are getting better at the game. After learning and using the 13 basic strategies and secrets, try using the more advanced secrets and strategies. You will eventually beat him or at least draw!
The single corner is on the left hand side of your board and the double corner is on the right hand side. I normally circle them as I refer to them, just in case it's the first time you are viewing our videos.
I don't play with the force capture rule as I just feel like it makes the game less fun. Also, the rules that came with my set said that black always goes first. ¯\_ʘ‿ʘ_/¯
I somewhat agree with you if you are just playing for fun, since then it's hard to take the game seriously (lol) if you don't have to take if you don't want to. It really doesn't matter what color goes first, black, red or white, our videos cover every possible opening and response.
Checkers in general is one of those games that you’re meant to change up the rules. For example, I make the king be able to move similar to a bishop in chess
@@potatoboy549 Many versions of checkers have that rule (eg. Russian, French etc.). It's called a flying King. However, it's a good idea to decide which rules you are playing by first before you start playing1
If my opponent misses a jump, then I can take his piece for not jumping. Is that correct? And when I do take his piece for not jumping is it still my turn
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.
How do you get the checkers to find it’s check mate? And I understand that the checkers are checking for opponents and friends. They check and check and check
Flyordie.com you can play on your computer and has a 1 minute timer. The app I like is Checkers online by Hagstrom, because of the graphics. It has a 40 second timer, but can only be played on a mobile device such as a tablet or cell phone. It's available from the google play store for android phones. It may not be compatible with I phones.
Checkers is a game that I've never won in, no matter how many times i've played. I can beat my mom at chess all day, even half asleep, yet the moment she pulls out checkers I'm five years old again and so confused on what to do lol
Great video. I love checkers. I am playing a new checkers game for cellphone, is called checkers clash. You got a chest for every win. The chest contains pieces for skins. the game have only for the moment international, english and brazilian checkers. I hope that some day they offer spanish checkers.
Hi Patrick, I have bought your book. Do you know if there is a site where you can download a checkers board, set it up for the situations as they occur in the book and then move the pieces yourself to work through the various techniques, patterns and jumps.
Hi Sydney. Thank you for your purchase. I hope it's improving your percentage of wins. Please write a review when you can. It helps promote it to other players. Unfortunately I don't. I use a real checker board with checkers to analyze games I lost. I find it easier to do that.
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..
To each their own. lol. These are English draughts or American checkers rules. There are many versions of checkers. You just have to agree on the rules you are going to adhere to before you start playing.
I am going to publish a series of videos later where I lost but should have won as a puzzle for our viewers, to see if they can work out what the correct move should have been. So thank you for your suggestion.
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!

3 move mandatory opening moves (from a randomly drawn card) was created to avoid players making the same opening and responding moves, which ends up being a draw between 2 expert players.
Yes that is correct, but only diagonally on the colored squares (brown in this case). It cannot move sideways or up and down like the king in chess one square at a time. Also, the king in chess cannot jump! like the king in checkers.
@@jasonjrf Yes like a bishop in chess, because a king in checkers moves diagonally, but unlike a bishop in chess (which cannot jump) a checkers king jumps over the opponents' checkers to take or capture as long as there is an empty space behind or in front of the opponents' checkers (English draughts or American Checkers rules). Others, variations of checkers, like Russian, French have flying kings!
Just practice, practice, practice and learn from your mistakes. Learn the 22 strategies and secrets by heart. They are very similar to chess. Control the center, fork, scissors, bridge etc. Concentrate on pulling your opponents back checkers away, so you can get a king, while keeping your 2 anchor checkers in place. Hope this helps.
My name in the game was Do you love me.i remember you always defeated me.but atleast few times I won. I am back now to the game.i can't remember my moves
In English draughts or American checkers if you can jump a checker you must do so (mandatory jump). In my opinion this is an excellent rule since in your case you may set up a trap, but what if your opponent decides not to jump? What happens to you trap?
@@Budi-wn8hd Yes I know. But I think your version has different rules, for example, checkers can jump backwards like the king and you have flying kings that can move and jump as many diagonal squares you like.
