This is true, and because of this strategy does play a vital role in checkers. I will be able to beat a lesser player almost all of the time. However, I have not studied deeply into the game as I do not think perfect play is hard to achieve. Therefore, there is only so much skill and eventually a ceiling where two players would be of equal skill at the highest level. I am not certain of this.
