Answer 3

Step 1:

Go to your local library and check out several books on checkers. There are books for the beginner and the advanced player that offer tips, strategies and techniques that can enable you to improve your game.

Step 2:

Join a club. The way to win at checkers is through practice and clubs are a great way to get a lot of matches under your belt. If your club plays other clubs, that is so much the better, since you will expand your circle of checkers compatriots and learn new moves and techniques.

Step 3:

Compete against superior players. Unlike some games where you will only frustrate yourself by being outmatched, playing a better player in checkers only helps you to enhance your own game as you pick up useful tools.

Step 4:

Practice with a computer game or on the Internet if you run out of partners. You can really sharpen your skills by engaging in play with virtual players. Computers usually think several moves ahead and you can improve your concentration with such a formidable opponent.

Step 5:

Take your time when playing unless you are in a timed game. Don't take easy captures (taking your opponent's piece) and risk a big loss later on in the game. The way to win at checkers is to try to visualize the board after your current move.

Step 6:

Visit the American Checker Federation's website to get information on tournaments, tips and techniques and where you can find chapters in your area
