MARION TINSLEY (USA) v. DEREK OLDBURY (ENGLAND)

[WhiteEmerald1991]

I think when i take this game seriously, the more i lose. I have loss A LOT recently and im surprised by my blindness. I wish the only way to win this game is to let your opponent beat you in checkers. Because it seems like that is what im doing. sigh. I bet even the greatest checkers players lots a lot. :( I want to be great. Do you think reading that Dr. Marion Tinsley book is helpful?

@WhiteEmerald1991 Hello! The Dr. Marion Tinsley book is very good. I have a suggestion for you. Get "The Little Giant Encyclopedia of Checker Puzzles by Robert Pike. Let me know when you finish and then we will work on something else. Also don't worry about losing. The way to win is to learn how to draw games. Especially on the internet where your opponent might be using a computer against you.

@checkercycle is checkers really solved?

[WhiteEmerald1991]

@checkercycle The way to win is to learn how to draw games? Do you mean that by drawing games you learn how to do better next time?

[checkercycle]

@WhiteEmerald1991 " Make sure you have at least a draw, before you start looking for a way to win. If your opponent seems suddenly to have left himself wide open, don't rush in for the win. Stop, Look, and Consider. Has he baited a tempting trap for you?" Tom Wiswell. This is very good advice. Have a Happy New Year!!!

[WhiteEmerald1991]

@checkercycle Happy new year to you too. Thanks for the advice.

hi i would like to know where they sell that checkers board game thanks

[thebookofjoy]

at 6:12 why did you say that red has to sacrifice that piece in order to get the king out?

[Dcon6393]

@thebookofjoy Because he couldn't move his King out without attacking the white on 27. If he attacked 27 before the sacrifice, white could have easily taken his King

[thebookofjoy]

@Dcon6393 ahhhhh I see it now. Thanks.
