    12-16 19x12
    15-19 24x15
    11x18x25 !

    when red moves 15 to 18, what if red moves 14 to 18? I am having trouble as white when this move is made

    After white does brake 25 to 22, why the combination 12 to 16 is not valid?

    Any recommendations on a good beginners book to read for checkers?

      "Win at Checkers" by Millard Hopper.
      Also good: Checkers for the Novice (cfn) by Richard Pask. If you type Richard Pask + cfn in Google you find a free PDF.

    Excellent video. But there are a segment of us out here who like to play checkers for fun and when you reach this level it’s not fun for guys like me. It’s not relaxing anymore. But for those who want to perfect game this is certainly valuable knowledge.

      @Just Some Sleepy Dude On A Couch Wearing A Hoodie it’s a game. People play at different levels. Try not to be so immature.

      @Just Some Sleepy Dude On A Couch Wearing A Hoodie it’s just a game. Relax. What are 12?

  • @kevinwalsh6705

    instead of 15 to 18 what if red plays 14 to 18?

    @justlady1955 Your Welcome!

    I think you are referring to 12-16 followed by 15-18, right, instead of 15-18 at once.
    Let´s check it:
    1.12-16 19x12,
    2.15-18 22x15,
    and now
    3. 10x28 seems to win back the sacrificeied paws and head for a king,
    But look at the pieces on 14 and
    As the pawn on 10 is away white can capture them both with the pawn from 17, remaining two pawns up, which is a clear win.
    So: the combination is faulty, as after u captured it is not over, and you lose two pawns!

    When you reach king do you always have to place another Checker on top, My checkers have those rings on em, and Everytime i reach king I just Flip it over, so the Smooth(bottom) Part of the Checker is Facing up... idk is that lazy?

      2 checkers is easier to see so it's more fair
