- What do you like about checkers?: I love the simplicity/complexity of the game. I became interested in the game as a child playing with my grandfather. Then studied checkers more in depth as a late teenager, but got away from the game for a while. Recently I have gotten my excitement back for the game. I'm working hard to improve my game. I hope to enter an ACF tournament in 2017. I check the forums daily and would like to interact with the other players. Thanks!

Most Important Stage of a Game
What do you consider to be the most important stage of the game (opening, mid-game, end game)?

Most important stage - preparation: study and practice.
I am playing checkers, not chess.

Re: Most Important Stage of a Game
That is hard to say. All sort of have equal importance. One wrong move in any point of the game can have disastrous consequences. I personally put a lot of emphasis on learning the basic openings, because without a knowledge of the openings, you will lead yourself into weak mid-game/endgame scenarios. Though the mid-game (especially late midgame) is also very important because I find it is where the majority of winning and losing moves are made, at least in master level games.
