Strategy guides, opening theory, and tips to beat the AI
This blog is the written half of Fun AI Games: how the pieces move, why Easy feels different from Impossible, and which opening actually works on our boards. Posts are meant to send you back to a live game, not to sit as a standalone encyclopedia. We keep titles and URLs stable when a guide already ranks. New inventory is paced so the site does not grow a pile of thin listicles.
Start here
- Openings — Gomoku opening theory and Checkers center control. Use these when you already know the rules and keep losing the first ten moves.
- Beat the AI — Checkers difficulty ladder, then play the matching board. Climb Easy → Medium → Impossible on one title before hopping to another game.
- Quick play — five-minute no-login games if you only have a break. The Games Hub is the catalog; this index is the reading order.
Browse by topic
Guides are grouped by what you are trying to learn. Opening posts assume you already know the rules. Beat-the-AI posts assume Easy is beatable and you are climbing toward Medium or Impossible. How-to posts start from zero. Everything is free to read; ads may appear around the page, not during a move.
- Openings & theory — Gomoku openings and Checkers center control. Read these when you lose in the first ten moves.
- Beat the AI — Checkers difficulty ladder. Impossible-mode posts assume you want perfect defense, not a casual game.
- Rules & how-tos — Checkers rules and Ludo rules. Start here if you have never played online.
- Quick play & access — five-minute games or the no-login games hub. No account, open a tab, play.
