Chinese Checkers

[Brad_Ad23]

Is there an optimal strategy for Chinese Checkers?

[Loren Booda]

First you need an abacus...

[Brad_Ad23]

So in otherwords, no. Interesting.

Great game though! I actually played with my family yesterday during thanksgiving! I came in second [:)]

The question may be whether the optimum stategy is a learnable heuristic or computationally inscrutable.

i have played chinese checkers for few time. ofcourse i'm not an expert. but i have a lot of friends that are expert in this field. if you want to know the strategy, there is a lot of books out that teach you strategy about chinese checkers. i heard that the strategy is just like the strtegy for a real war.

The strategy is the same as Chess. You have general, soldiers, carts, cannons, horses, and officers protecting the general.
