Checkers is a game played by two persons, each with twelve pieces, on a checker-board. You can only move forward on the black squares until you reach the king row and then you can move that piece forward and backward. You must take jumps when offered, even if it means you lose two or more pieces in the process.If at all possible you want to gain the advantage by taking two for one or position your piece between two opposing pieces where your opponent has no choice but to give up one or the other.When I was twelve, my Uncle Dan Clark, lived with us for a while. He not only showed me how to be unbeaten in checkers but also how to play chess. Uncle Dan was a very interesting person, he logged virgin timber in the Tennessee mountains, managed the grounds for a large Hospital in Kentucky, repaired watches and played a lot of chess and checkers.I have gotten rusty over the years and not played much checkers, so I make mistakes now. But I will never forget the basic strategy for the start of the game of checkers. Keep a pyramid of your pieces in front of you. With this pyramid you can block your opponent from reaching the king row and may gain the advantage by swapping one piece for two. Hold on to the pyramid for as long as possible and work your plays around it. With a little practice you will be able to become the master of the game of checkers.Start out with the pieces on the sides. Move the three pieces on the left all forward one square, keeping the pyramid in tack. Try to maintain this strong defensive formation and look for the chance to swap one for two.
