AI Thread Summary
There is no definitive optimal strategy for Chinese Checkers, as the game may not have a clear computational solution. Players suggest that strategies can be learned through heuristics, similar to those used in chess. Many resources, including books, are available for those interested in improving their gameplay. The game is often compared to war strategy, emphasizing the importance of positioning and movement. Overall, while strategies exist, mastery comes from experience and understanding the game's dynamics.

Is there an optimal strategy for Chinese Checkers?
 
Mathematics news on Phys.org
First you need an abacus...
 
So in otherwords, no. Interesting.
 
Great game though! I actually played with my family yesterday during thanksgiving! I came in second :smile:
 
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.
