I have been watching your channel. I think I'm getting the hang of checkers. I beat a computer set to hard once with white and once with black using your strategies. I question your tendency to move the single corner out early. I see a lot of variations in which your opponent can set up double jumps I feel that it is sometimes safer to delay the development of the single corner sometimes and instead focus on occupying sides so long as they force concessions from your opponent such as move back rank pieces to reinforce or to limit his mobility. I see that many checker games boil down to mobility. The computer often prevented me from using the sweet square, so I was forced to use other strategies. Do you have videos of alternative strategies if attacking the sweet square does not work? I seem to be okay at shifting my focus toward the center in that case. Thanks for the instructive videos. Good work.
Thank you for your comments. Once you have learnt the single corner opening (old faithful which is the strongest opening) you should experiment with the other 6 possible openings, since they will be future opponents who can win or draw against old faithful. The reason we advise to move your checkers out of the single corner first is the fact that if you keep the left hand anchor checker in place, your opponent may get a king in the roach motel square, but it will be useless since in most cases it can't move out. I have won countless games where my opponents king is trapped in the roach motel square! Yes are many videos (132 so far) where I lose control of the sweet spot square, but I have still won. Please review them.
I like the v-shape tip! Thank you! (and please post more video's)
Thank you. Glad you felt it helpful. Will post more videos as requested.
