A spectacular combination in the Bristol opening (11-16, 24-20, 16-19)

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

The Bristol opening in checkers is full of tricks and traps, and the specific variation in this video lends itself to some exciting cross-board games. The ensuing play is considerably complicated, so please do not be discouraged if you are unable to spot any of the tactical sequences.
As always, I recommend playing out all of the moves on your own board to help with your overall visualization.

    Bloody jump! Wow! That's thirteen moves deep, so you need to be a very powerful checkers player to see it from the red to move and win position. I wish I could show this to the entire world! Thanks Ryan, I am not playing much these days, but I want to continue to cultivate my love for checkers.

    @@azcheckers the only challenge I'm currently experiencing now is the visualisation in the end game. I often lose my end games due to certain positions. is there any computer program you recommend I should try so that can learn faster, at the moment I have checkerboard but it won't help me with fewer pieces.

    7:41 After this pitch and 25-18, red still has a good game with the 6-9 sacrifice, without all the fancy fireworks, just in case there were those like me who couldn't see the whole sequence :)

    You are correct, thank you for pointing that out! 6-9 at that stage will also technically win, but it's maybe not as clean cut as making the additional pitch with 23-27 first. I agree that it is very natural to just take the 2 for 3 right away!

    Hi Ryan, First of all a warm welcome, glad to see you. Your analysis opens new perspective to view to the game. The Map you are able to create by moving 7-10, also also arise in Lady and Laird (After black doctor denied) and I usually play 7-10. " Stydying about any subject is like going to a journey, when you cover some distance you realise still miles are left unseen & undiscovered " After White's 29-25, I like to respond by 9-13 and it is a very different yet unique perspective to this game. Nevertheless, I would try to incorporate your variation in games specially after 11-15, 24-20 and 15-19 (exchanges) which I refers as Black Dyke. Thank you from *Path_FinDr*

    I always appreciate your insight and comments, my friend! Yes, transitions and understanding them is a key to unlocking the secrets in this great game. I also like 9-13 as a counter to 29-25, although white perhaps has a bit more edge and scope.
