Model 1120

TIPS AND TRICKS

* Think before you move! Try to stay one jump ahead of your opponent.

* Sacrifice a man if his loss puts you in a position to jump 2 of your opponent's men.

* Keep your men in tight formation. The more they are strung out, the more vulnerable they are.

* Keep your opponent from getting crowned. The first player to be crowned has a decided advantage.

* Use kings wisely. Remember: Kings can move both forward AND BACKWARD.
