The two-for-one shot in Russian Checkers

The lesson in words

Captures are compulsory, so you can force your opponent to take a piece and land exactly where you want.

Give one, take two: that’s a two-for-one shot.

Offer a piece that Black must take. Their capturing man then becomes a stepping stone.

Try it: Set up the shot: offer a piece.

Before every move, look for a piece you can give away to set up a bigger capture.
