TIP 1:
Get to the Middle.
Move to the center of the board. Center positions command twice as many moves as edge positions.

TIP 2:
Stick Together.
Before you offer up your opponent a jump, make sure you don't accidentally give up a double, or worse, a triple!

TIP 3:
Use The Corner
Move a piece into the corner if you're low on pieces or playing without a King. Move back and forth from there. It will be difficult for your opponent to get that piece out of there, and they might lose a few pieces in the process!
