@mnandi984 Your welcome. I realize the 7-10 variation is popular and I agree it is good to know a couple variations for both sides. I got to like this opening and going to work on it more. Thank you!

hello, you can always learn more!

A brilliant game of skill with very simple rules. But I would say that regular players of the standard game (American checkers/British draughts) should check out the different variations of draughts which the game is rich in.

Thanks for the videos -- I'm gradually learning!

Hi. Great opening! To my surprise, it actually does come up in play. From beginners to advanced players as well. After all of the exchanges, I still have trouble finishing opponents off. What moves can you recommend after the final exchanges? Move out the single corner pieces perhaps? Thanks for any info.
