Attacking with 8 checkers is weak

You and your opponent both have 8 checkers in the zone at the starting position.

This is a basic number to remember and indicates the strength of the attack is not strong. The more checkers you have in the zone the greater the power of the attack.

Attacking with 10 checkers in the zone is strong. Spliting your back checkers when your opponent has 10 checkers in the zone in very dangerous.
