A strong Turkish Draughts strategy is to keep your men connected, control the centre, and aim to promote a man into a flying king while stopping your opponent from doing the same. Because capturing is forced, you can set traps that lure an enemy piece into a jump that leaves it worse off. Count capture chains carefully before every move, since the maximum-capture rule can turn a single mistake into a lost row of pieces. Avoid pushing men too far ahead where they become weak, and try to reach the far row first — a dama's long range is often decisive.
