Useful landing for the fighting player

[Richard Pask]

1) 9-13 23-19; 5-9 27-23; 11-16?! (perhaps !? is correct) 22-18; 16-20 32-27 to a fighting draw
2) 9-13 23-19; 11-16 27-23; 5-9?! 22-18; 16-20 32-27 same
3) 9-13 24-19; 5-9 28-24; 11-16?! 22-18; 16-20 32-28 same
4) 9-13 24-19; 11-16 22-18; 5-9?! 28-24; 16-20 32-28 same

!? Interesting move.
?! Dubious move.

Richard Pask, this is a nice quadruple (3-move) opening transposition! That it leads "to a fighting draw" shows it is a landing for the checkerist with a warrior spirit! 2025 was a landmark year in Checkers publishing with Complete Checkers: Insights hardcover edition published in March https://www.amazon.com/Complete-Checker ... 115&sr=8-2 , and Complete Checkers: Repertoire hardcover edition published in October.https://www.amazon.com/Complete-Checker ...
