101 Checker Puzzles by Robert Pike

One, two, three and you've made a triple jump and shut down your opponent's game! Winning checkers isn't always as easy and quick as that, of course, but figure out the logic behind these 101 brilliant strategies and you will come out ahead every time. Divided into beginning, middle and endgame tactics, this great book of checker challenges will hone your skills and your analytic powers. Each puzzle showcases a different board layout with a description of what's happening: for example, "Black Flabbergasts White" reveals that very early in the contest, Black is about to make a move that will assure almost instant victory. Put yourself in the player's place and try to fathom what this stupendous, game-clinching move could be. If you're having trouble, there's a tip at the bottom of the page as well as a solutions section. The book includes American Checker Federation rules, a checker glossary and a very special extra: a fold-out checker board!  Buy this book now!
