HINT #4: Give priority to jumping

In a situation where you can move 1 square and convert 3 pieces OR jump 2 squares and convert 4 pieces, do the jump! Although your net gain for either move is identical, the net loss for the opponent is greater when you jump -- which in turn denies him an additional space where he can move from, resulting in fewer options for a counterstrike.
