This vid has helped me counter the cross opening just as you have played it and I have been successful every time. Good job George, Keep up the good work!
I think you are referring to 12-16 followed by 15-18, right, instead of 15-18 at once. Let´s check it: 1.12-16 19x12, 2.15-18 22x15, and now 3. 10x28 seems to win back the sacrificeied paws and head for a king, But look at the pieces on 14 and As the pawn on 10 is away white can capture them both with the pawn from 17, remaining two pawns up, which is a clear win. So: the combination is faulty, as after u captured it is not over, and you lose two pawns!

Excellent video. But there are a segment of us out here who like to play checkers for fun and when you reach this level it’s not fun for guys like me. It’s not relaxing anymore. But for those who want to perfect game this is certainly valuable knowledge.
When you reach king do you always have to place another Checker on top, My checkers have those rings on em, and Everytime i reach king I just Flip it over, so the Smooth(bottom) Part of the Checker is Facing up... idk is that lazy?

Thanks for helping me improve my checker games!
i thank you very much for your good practise
5:33 May be it is better for red to play :
12-16 19x12
15-19 24x15
11x18x25 !
Love u bro thanks for this vid
Where can one find a green and white numbered board like you have?
when red moves 15 to 18, what if red moves 14 to 18? I am having trouble as white when this move is made
Thanks....
Very instructive
We miss you
after watch this video i now more belive i am smart
Yes I like it very much!!!!!
instead of 15 to 18 what if red plays 14 to 18?
After white does brake 25 to 22, why the combination 12 to 16 is not valid?

Any recommendations on a good beginners book to read for checkers?

@Just Some Sleepy Dude On A Couch Wearing A Hoodie it’s a game. People play at different levels. Try not to be so immature.

2 checkers is easier to see so it's more fair
yeah i dont think my family is smart enough to set a trap on me like that
by what rules? are you even playing? its not the official rules now is it?
@gaughknee Your Welcome!
you played the 4-8, but the strongest is 10-14
CheckerBoard Yes, 10-14 instead of 4-8 is a very good move.
