Checkers is a simple game?
Checkers is a game with simple rules, but certainly not easy! Explore the sport (yes, Checkers is a sports discipline!) that has taken me to over 30 countries, taught me languages, and introduced me to many interesting people from around the world, with whom I have maintained contact for years!
When only 3 pieces are left on the checkerboard – there are thousands of possibilities, with 4 pieces – tens of thousands, and with 6 – I can’t even name those numbers. And yet, we start playing International Checkers with a total of 20 pieces.
There are many variations of checkers, which differ to a greater or lesser extent in their rules. The most prestigious variant of Checkers worldwide is the 100-square International Checkers, where everyone plays by the same international rules. Achieving the world champion title in this variant brings the highest possible satisfaction. Importantly, the techniques learned on the 100-square checkerboard can be successfully applied in other variants, including the 64-square checkers!
Embark with me on an incredible journey to the wonderful world of Checkers – a game that will enhance analytical skills, logical thinking, memory, and concentration. Utilize my 25 years of competitive experience and over 15 years as a Checkers instructor, which led me to the World Champion title in 2023. Discover the world of Checkers, a sport that knows no bounds and can become a lifelong passion.
The course includes:
- 60 minutes of video material,
- 8 lectures,
- practical examples,
- diversed tactics and strategies.
I will teach you how to quickly win at Checkers through so-called combinations, tactical ways of using the rules to your advantage. You will also learn how to create opportunities to defeat the opponent even when no combination can be executed. I’ll show you how to play in different phases of a Checkers game – at the beginning (the opening), in the middle game, and in endgames. You will learn both basic strategy (positional play) and tactics (combinational play), which constantly interweave during a game of Checkers.
