Checkers Tip;
The single corners are square 4 and 29 {see checker board diagram }. The
double corners are squares 1 and5, and 28 and 32. Play from your single corner and attack  your opponent's double corner. Keep your double corner as strong as possible as this is the easiest place for your opponent to make a king.  cont. below.........

Checkers Tip:

If the double corner is vacated, squares 1 and 5 and 28 and 32 {see checker board diagram} the opponent player can easily slip in from 28 to 32 or 5 to 1, making a king, and escaping back out the same way...CONT. BELOW   

Checkers Strategy:
A player often finds himself trapped, however, if s'he makes a king in the single corner square 4 or 29. For example, if red is on 21 and 30, black can move 22,25, and 29 making the king. Red however, while black is crowned, can remove the  bridge checker on 21 to 17, and by doing so trap the black king.

Checkers Triva:
In England the game is called "Draughts"
pronounced { Drafts }.

Edgar Allen Poe:
" I hereby take occasion to assert that the highest powers of the human intellect are more decidedly and more tasked by the unostenratious game of Draughts, than by all the elaborate frivolity of Chess. In the latter, where the pieces have different and bizzare motions, with various and variable values, what is only complex is mistaken { a not unusual error } for what is profound."
