Wyllie's Invincible: a winning formula for a losing move

  • Most professional checkers players do not play weak or losing moves and expect a positive result. The legendary James Wyllie, however, would often confuse his opponents with unusual moves that sometimes were weak and / or losing. But he got results and his status around the world grew as a pioneer and grandmaster in the game.
    One of Wyllie's many innovations came in the Second Double Corner opening (11-15, 24-19). He would score a number of wins with a weak and probably losing 29-25 (the Invincible) in the mid game. In the first world championship match in 1847, Wyllie would try this move (29-25) against his opponent Andrew Anderson. However, Anderson was prepared and unleashed an innovation of his own to counter and defeat the Invincible.

      Thank you! Patience is key -- there is always something new to learn in the game. Even the best players miss possibilities!

    Great video az. I have ended up in some of these landings before as red and always struggle

    • @azcheckers

      Yes, it's not easy at all. One false move and the advantage immediately swings from one side to the other. 7-10 looks to be a much safer move than the actual winning 7-11. It makes sense why so many have faltered at that point in the game!

      No, George is alive. There was talk of him creating videos again a while back, but unfortunately that hasn't come to fruition.
