This technique focuses on the pace of moving your checkers with little or no time spent to hit or block your opponent’s pieces. The ideal scenario to use this strategy is when you think you might be able to shift your own pieces a lot faster than the opposition does: when 1) you have a fewer checkers on the game board; 2) all your checkers have past your competitor’s chips; or 3) your opponent doesn’t use the hitting or blocking strategy.
