Tactics - what's different?In terms of tactics, the majority of patterns that can be found in Draughts, can also be found in Croda and Dameo, although endgame tactics differ because of the absence of one-on-one opposition. There are patterns in Dameo however, that cannot occur in the other two, or in any previous draughtsgame for that matter.
| Here's the bare bones version of a principle that can (and often does) pop up in the opening and middle game. Its significance lies in realm of combinations and not so much in the fact that white has a winning endgame here. Note that 1.d3b5??-d5b3x, 2.b5d7x fails because black then has access to the cornersquare. |
