Chinese Checkers Endgame Record: Red D5xE6 Center Route
1. Red B3-D5 | Blue A1-L15Main mistake: taking a long jump that closes the ladder for the next piece
with the rule still visible, name the visible demand, for this finish pattern: center route finishing pattern, start from route ladder from B3 through E6 with a center block at G9, replay the first two entries, decide whether Red D5xE6 survives Blue L15xJ12, trace the final route, capture, promotion, territory, or hand-completion checkpoint, compare the natural reply with the timing change created by Blue L15xJ12, and then compare the neighboring level while the notation is still familiar.
1. Red B3-D5 | Blue A1-L15for this record, separate habit from proof, 1. Red B3-D5 | Blue A1-L15 and Blue L15xJ12 make the opening pair. Put them on opposite sides of single steps, chained jumps, landing points, and group-route efficiency before reading the commentary. The intermediate job is to keep two candidate replies alive until the timing test resolves them. The page is useful only if that first inspection changes how this race and jump strategy finish pattern: center route record is read.
at the diagram, hold the answer lightly, 5. Red C4-I11 | Blue H10xG9 is the turn to slow down on. In this Chinese Checkers finishing pattern, the move turns single steps, chained jumps, landing points, and group-route efficiency from background knowledge into the actual decision rule. Write this beside it: The intermediate turn asks whether the ladder still helps the group.
When the mistake is tempting, let the diagram lead, read the branch twice: once for the natural-looking reply, once for the moment taking a long jump that closes the ladder for the next piece becomes visible. For finish pattern: center route, the plan is not to memorize the line; it is to explain why Blue L15xJ12 changes the answer.

- 1Find the cue
in this example, make the cue do work, quote 1. Red B3-D5 | Blue A1-L15, then find route ladder from B3 through E6 with a center block at G9. This keeps the page from becoming a loose finishing pattern overview and gives the reader a concrete starting mark.
- 2Translate the rule
in this example, make the cue do work, before choosing a plan, say which part of single steps, chained jumps, landing points, and group-route efficiency controls the position. That rule cue is the page's anchor.
- 3Make the answer local
in this example, make the cue do work, the third pass should find the unsafe habit, not merely repeat the notation, so name where taking a long jump that closes the ladder for the next piece first appears.
- 4Choose the next record
in this example, make the cue do work, close the pass by naming the next same-game record that would make single steps, chained jumps, landing points, and group-route efficiency easier to test in a new example.
The cut record task works on promotion, capture timing, territory closure, final route efficiency, or safe hand completion. Board cue: route ladder from B3 through E6 with a center block at G9. Level job: the record note compares candidate moves and asks why one move preserves tempo while another only looks active for one move. In Chinese Checkers, practice this habit: build routes that keep the group moving instead of sending one piece alone. The page keeps the record note narrow enough that the notation, cue, and mistake can be checked together. Replay evidence: the Chinese Checkers route and jump notation line begins move one Red B3-D5 | Blue A1-L15; move two Red D5xE6 | Blue L15xJ12; inspect Red D5xE6.

- Key decision
- in this example, make the cue do work, the third pass should find the unsafe habit, not merely repeat the notation, so name where taking a long jump that closes the ladder for the next piece first appears.
- Mistake diagnostic
- for the next comparison, make one local test, the record should make one wrong instinct visible. Ask whether the reply after Red D5xE6 gives the opponent a concrete gain. In this Chinese Checkers finishing pattern, legality is not enough; the move also has to keep answering single steps, chained jumps, landing points, and group-route efficiency.

What this record looks like
Under the position cue, avoid the broad label, intermediate readers get a Chinese Checkers finish pattern: center route record long enough to expose a reply sequence but still narrow enough to keep single steps, chained jumps, landing points, and group-route efficiency in view. Board cue: route ladder from B3 through E6 with a center block at G9. Rule check: single steps, chained jumps, landing points, and group-route efficiency. The notation uses Chinese Checkers route and jump notation. The first two entries are 1. Red B3-D5 | Blue A1-L15; 2. Red D5xE6 | Blue L15xJ12, which keeps the explanation tied to promotion, capture timing, territory closure, final route efficiency, or safe hand completion.

Chinese Checkers rule check
Check this before the outside record: read 1. Red B3-D5 | Blue A1-L15, name the rule source, test the position cue, and keep the mistake visible.
Open Masters Traditional GamesMasters Traditional Games is the rule source to open first; use it for legal vocabulary before comparing this intermediate record.
Route and jump notation makes the path visible: a hyphen marks a step, while an x marks a jump chain. The notation should be read as route geometry, not as a capture record. On this page the first line is 1. Red B3-D5 | Blue A1-L15.
A piece can usually step to an adjacent empty point or hop over an adjacent occupied point into the empty point beyond. Chained jumps matter because one move can cross several prepared landing points. For this page, apply it to a two-hop bridge, an exit lane, and a landing point reserved for the next piece; two candidate plans and a turning point; route ladder.
The common trap is racing one front piece ahead while the rear group loses its bridge. The record should show whether the jump helped the whole route or only created one stranded piece. Here the reader's mistake check is taking a long jump that closes the ladder for the next piece.

Wikimedia Commons Chinese checkers start positions diagram is the public visual reference for this Chinese Checkers page; while the notation is fresh, make the cue do work, for open-gallery context, the page adds Wikimedia Commons Chinese checkers start positions diagram, which gives readers Chinese checkers starting-position references for route and jump-chain record pages; used as game-material context before the reader checks the article-specific record diagram. The self-authored record diagram handles route ladder from B3 through E6 with a center block at G9; the public image stays contextual rather than exact. The article-specific line still belongs to the self-authored record diagram. This public-library context remains separate from the self-authored article-specific diagram.
- Compare
- Use the image for board, piece, route, tile, or surface context, then use the article diagram and 1. Red B3-D5 | Blue A1-L15 for the exact composed line.
- Keep separate
- The public image supports context and license transparency; it is separate from the article-specific record diagram and move sequence.
When checking the reply, separate habit from proof, for finishing pattern, 1. Red B3-D5 | Blue A1-L15; 2. Red D5xE6 | Blue L15xJ12 supplies the working record line and single steps, chained jumps, landing points, and group-route efficiency supplies the check. Treat it as an intermediate annotated-record example: an annotated record note, not a tournament score, built to compare candidate replies. Use outside sources to compare notation and position type, not to rename this example as a copied game. The page-specific mistake check is taking a long jump that closes the ladder for the next piece.
- Compare
- Use outside material to check route notation, step-or-hop legality, bridge continuity, camp congestion, and landing points, source type, and position similarity before returning to the article line.
- Keep separate
- Keep tournament metadata or present the route fragment as an official recorded game only as context checks; this intermediate record note stays an original annotated record example, separate from outside scores, player metadata, and source commentary.
- Notation and turn order: 1. Red B3-D5 | Blue A1-L15.
- Position job and trained mistake: a two-hop bridge, an exit lane, and a landing point reserved for the next piece; two candidate plans and a turning point; route ladder from B3 through E6 with a center block at G9; single steps, chained jumps, landing points, and group-route efficiency check for the finishing pattern / taking a long jump that closes the ladder for the next piece.
- Image fit, source URL, license label, and whether the public image matches the same game family.
- Outside scores, player metadata, event labels, table logs, SGF files, and database commentary stay outside the article body.
- A public image is visual context, not proof that the composed move sequence happened in a real match.
- A classic position anchor helps comparison; it is not a claim that this page reproduces that exact external record.

Classic lookup cue for Chinese Checkers
Use Masters Traditional Games as a real-record or position lookup context. This page remains an annotated record note and is not a copied tournament score, named-player record, table log, or external database entry.
Masters Traditional Games: Chinese Checkers Endgame finishing patterns + two-hop bridge exit lane landing point reserved next piece two + 1. Red B3-D5 | Blue A1-L15 + taking long jump closes ladder next pieceOpen Masters Traditional GamesStart with two-hop bridge exit lane landing point reserved next piece two. The goal is to find the same kind of board, tile, route, or threat problem before looking for an exact score.
Use the sample 1. Red B3-D5 | Blue A1-L15 to compare notation form, move length, and record density against external material.
Keep this mistake visible while comparing: taking long jump closes ladder next piece. A useful outside record should make that decision easier to discuss.
Open Masters Traditional Games for real records or position context, but keep this record note separate from copied match scores and named-player claims.

Compare the record note with a real source type
These exemplars explain what to compare in a real record index, rules source, or position reference before judging this annotated record note. They keep source lookup useful without copying outside records.
Use starting positions, single-step movement, jump chains, and route efficiency as the comparable object because stable public match-score corpora are scarce.
Beginner: one hop and the rear group. Intermediate: bridge or direct route. Advanced: multi-hop timing, center blocks, and camp-exit efficiency.classic position referenceStep-Hop Movement Exemplar
Use the public movement diagram to compare whether a record line is a single step, a jump, or a multi-hop route before judging route efficiency.
Beginner: one step or hop. Intermediate: bridge versus direct route. Advanced: multi-hop timing, landing-point control, and camp-exit rhythm.Classic position anchorsUse known record shapes before searching for exact scores2 anchors; compare without copying a real score.
Use known record shapes before searching for exact scores
These anchors name stable rule, opening, route, tile, or board-position shapes for this game family. They help readers compare this annotated record note with external material without copying a real score.
Use this anchor when a Chinese Checkers page compares why a route bridge matters more than sending one front piece ahead.
Compare starting camp, route continuity, hop legality, center blockage, and whether the line keeps rear pieces connected.Single step, jump, and multi-hop route distinctionStep Versus Hop AnchorUse this anchor when the record note asks readers to distinguish a legal step from a useful jump chain.
Compare whether the notation describes a step, hop, or multi-hop route and whether the public diagram shows the same movement category.Curated reference packWhere to verify the record context2 game-specific references kept separate from the article line.
Where to verify the record context
These links give the reader a small, game-specific reference trail before using a real database, rule source, or public board reference. They support comparison; they are not copied into this article.
Use this when a Chinese Checkers page depends on starting areas, hops, route bridges, center blocking, or why a lone front piece can strand the group.
Compare starting setup, jump legality, route continuity, and whether the record line preserves future hops rather than chasing a copied match score.public board referenceChinese Checkers Move Diagram ContextUse this when a page needs a visual check for step moves, jumps, and route diagrams before comparing an annotated record note.
Compare whether the record note's route notation describes a legal step, hop, or multi-hop pattern; do not look for a tournament score.Comparison pathHow to compare this fragment with external records4 lookup steps; compare, do not copy a real score.
How to compare this fragment with external records
Use this as a reading path before opening external databases or classic-position references. The goal is comparison, not copying a real score into this article.
- 1Match the notation shape
Start with Route and jump notation and the sample 1. Red B3-D5 | Blue A1-L15. Compare outside records only for notation shape before judging move quality.
- 2Anchor the same kind of position
Use this page cue: a two-hop bridge, an exit lane, and a landing point reserved for the next piece; two candidate plans and a turning point; route ladder from B3 through E6 with a center block at G9; single steps, chained jumps, landing points, and group-route efficiency check for the finishing pattern Look for a similar board, tile, route, or threat problem, not an identical copied position.
- 3Read it as a intermediate record note
Compare record length, annotation density, and the trained mistake: taking a long jump that closes the ladder for the next piece. That is how this page explains what a intermediate record is for.
- 4Keep record note and outside record separate
Use Masters Traditional Games for real record lookup. This page remains an annotated record note and is not a copied tournament score or named-player record.
