SUMMARY
The discussion centers on the optimal strategy for playing Chinese Checkers, concluding that no definitive optimal strategy exists. Participants suggest that while strategies can be learned, they may not be computationally solvable. The conversation highlights the game's complexity, comparing its strategic elements to those found in Chess, where players must consider various roles such as generals and soldiers. Additionally, numerous books are available that provide insights into effective strategies for the game.

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.
