Checkers
Checkers is the 80th level in Chip's Challenge Level Pack 3. It was created by Ida Roberthson. This level has two block checkerboards. To complete this level, Chip has to use the block checkerboards to bridge to the exit and chips. All blocks also have chips under them, so all blocks must be pushed.

The main obstacles to solving this level are bridging to the lone island chips and manipulating the block checkerboards to gain access to the chips on the walls. Moving 2U 3R D 2R grants access to those blocks on the top side, and the same method can be used to access the chips on the left side.
OptimizationEdit
The main choice of route is which water spaces to fill, though strategically leaving chips behind can save time in many places. The 191.8 route currently in the public TWS bridges to the exit by bridging across the central chip, while both the old record of 192 and the current bold of 194 are known to fill different water spaces than this 191.
Beyond that information, be on the lookout for places to apply the Block Retrace Rule and Block Donut Rule, as both of these block pushing tricks have many applications, despite Checkers' small size.
