In some variants of Battleship, the submarines only occupy 1 slot, and there are two of them, which makes the chess-pattern less effective and forces you to start shooting randomly at some point in the game, unless you've found them already while looking for the bigger ships.

Have you ever played the fortress variant? Instead of ships, you place 4 3X3 fortresses. Your opponent tells you when you hit a fortress, but only a hit in the middle will destroy it.

In game Sea Battle 2 you have 1x4 squares ship 2x3 squares ship 3x2 squares ship 4x1 squares ship So checkerboard strategy will not fully work. Also there's advanced mode where you can use planes and other things to cover more squares in one shot. Are there some strategy for this game?

With one version I have on my device, I try to use the single shots in one section of the board so I can hit as many open spots as possible when using the super weapons. In these games it's important to mess around with all the weapons, figure out which ones work best for you and go forward from there. Lot's of practice, but it's fun practice! :) Good Luck

Please define the “standard rules” Cause the “classical rules” I know forbids ships being placed adjacent to another. This means that when you are guessing, you can cross out all the squares adjacent to a sunk ship, which makes the edges way more attractive to put your boats there.

regardless, no space is not protected or less likely to get hit, its all about chance and luck. Sure if you use your brain you may notice a pattern of where players typically set their boats Ex:always all on the edges or inner lines etc.

Eric.....c'mon......there is a metastrategy here. Overlay your shot maps, maximum (1 out of every 2) to minimum (1 out of every 4). There will be some shots in common. Those should be your first shots. Just sayin'

So you inspired me to dive into this in a spreadsheet, and assuming your patterns are oriented like they are in the video (top left to bottom right, checkerboard starts on A1) the best starting salvos would be C3-D4-E5-F6-G7-H8-I9-J10, followed by or interspersed with F6-G7-H8-I9. This stays on the final checkerboard pattern while also getting partial sweeps of each of the other patterns. Also, the 4-space hunting pattern is weird because to check every square without leaving a place for the battleship to hide requires placing 2 shots directly next to each other in the middle of the board, which obviously clashes with checkerboard. Done mostly for my own curiosity, but I thought I would share as long as I had put in the effort.

@@Sonar009 Thank you so much for sharing! I did something similar a year ago in Excel out of nothing more than curiosity. I would need to unearth those spreadsheets to see if I arrived at the same conclusion, but for some reason I remember the shots common to each pattern being more "over the board" than just the diagonal pattern you describe. Thank you for surprising me with your response to a notion that I had a year ago though! That notion was inspired by watching several videos just like this one. Who knew that it was even possible to tame that 10 x 10 watery expanse! Take it easy and thanks for taking my idea seriously! Let me know how you fare putting any of this to use in actual gameplay 🙂⚓🚢🛥️🛳️💣💣💣💣💣

While it might take a while to do it that way, statistically speaking, it should be an efficient way to cover all the places. Luck is probably the biggest factor in winning this game even more than stats.

Eric Buffington you're probably right about a thing, you need a luck to do your first hit, but then you can simulate in your mind where can other ships be, and the 5×1 ship is the easiest to detect, but the 2×1 is the hardest to, that having it the only one left to the opponent could twist everything and make you lose really fast, I just wish there was a way to detect the smallest ship without luck
