Recorded on February 12, 2012 using a Flip Video camera. "I only see one move ahead but it is always the correct one." Jose Raul Capablanca, World Chess Champion in the 1920's. Checker players could apply this great master idea to improve their games.

I don't know what changed after I watched your video, but it really helped my game! I'm still not always spotting the right move, but I'm getting quicker at spotting the wrong ones. I'm also applying more pressure on the opponent and thereby determining what they will do which helps me see further ahead. There's wisdom here, even if it isn't obvious at first!

That's better than any series of movements I've taken time to memorize. Thanks!

Thank you! Very interesting story. I read the quote that i talked about in a chess book and i was always amazed at his confidence. Capabllanca was such a great player. In general Grandmasters can see many moves ahead and they usually answer the question of how many moves they can see ahead with it all depends upon the position.

@Siktrik1 4 жыл бұрын

1. Control the centre. 2. Your goal should be to get as many kings as possible. 3. Press forward in masses. 4. Be willing to sacrifice a checker eg Trade offs especially when your opponent has less checkers, for position, to clear a path towards being kinged, to take out an opponents most threatening checker. 5. Leave your home/base row checkers until you need them. 6. Remember the blocking option, if you can see your opponent won’t be able to move on their next move after you make a specific move, do that specific move no matter how pointless your move is eg shuffling forward a checker posing zero threat. If the opponent can’t move on their go, you win. These tips I use when playing the no force jump rules. Force jump rules is a faster game but trickier in my opinion.

Jumps are mandatory. You have to jump rule. This makes the combination a "force" combo. If you didn't have to jump your observation would be correct.

Hi Jason! The English version is what i am showing, the other version your brother plays is the Spanish version, where the King moves all the way diagonally, like a bishop in chess. Your brother variations is very popular. It is also call "pool checkers" and in some variations a checker can jump backwards. You are right and your brother is right also. There is also some other variations played in Europe. Thank you for your question.

Thank you. I have been wondering about a move in chess and whether it is legal or not and you video helped me. My move that was in question was: A checker newly becomes a king in one turn, and once he is kinged has has an immediate jump opportunity like at 4:35. In my play I continued the turn by double jumping, as the red king could have gone 30 to 21. Instead you said the red king's turn was over and he could not take the jump (4:42). Thank you for clarifying this for me!

BenHasAPlan think smart not hard. Instead of thinking of their possible moves 5-6 ahead, think of their best move then your best response. It’s cool that you can think 40 moves ahead, but now the opponent did a different move and your sunk. If you think of 1 response for their moves you will have a better chance winning. Similar to how playing a best move puzzle in chess is extremely easy compared to an actual game.

At around 3:10, after White is crowned, why couldn’t Red move to 24 to 27 to 31 (not all at once, of course)? Wouldn’t that be a safe move, since there’s a Red on 23? Perhaps I’m not understanding the game well enough, but that would seem like the ideal move for red to make in that situation. Can anyone elaborate? Thank you!

At 5:22 why wouldn't red go to 22? I don't think most people would've moved their red piece to 31 as they know they'd get trapped. I'd like to see it play out of red moved to 22 from 20. Great video still. Thanks for the tips.

@checkercycle 7 жыл бұрын

Hi AmyAnn, because of the rule you must jump. Red at 4:34 has to jump white. This is the first sacrifice. It starts a chain reaction. The name of the shot is an "In and out shot" When reds jump to square 30 and gets his king his turn is over and now white moves and red has to jump again. At 4 47 White moves his King from 3 to 7. Red King has to jump to square 21 another sacrifice by White will force red to jump him 2 more time to set up the triple. After the triple everything is still forced. A tactic called "Breech (attacking 2 pieces at a time) and what ever Red does there is no way out white will gain another checker or trap red. Most players would resign because it only a matter of time. Important to know that white will never let red get away. You can practice this ending a few times and it will show how to played it correctly and get the win. Thank you!

@ericmorrell806 5 жыл бұрын

I thought the same thing. I commented similarly earlier, but I guess I never learned that a player "must jump." That makes a big difference, and now I understand the tactic. Thanks for the explanation. This makes a lot more sense now!
