Brazilian Draughts Tactics

Are there any basic strategies, tactics to aim for when playing Brazilian Draughts over regular Draughts

Polish draughts federation has published and made available a PDF which is very good for those who are making first steps in Brazilian draughts.: www.warcaby.pl/pobierz/214/epublikacje/5449/wprowadzenie-do-warcabow-klasycznych-2.pdf
Basically, you need to translate HEADINGS only by Google translate, because you will find solutions of puzzles after each chapter.
I am certain that if you are doing these puzzles dilligently and mostly by your efforts, you should gain lidraughts ELO 1400 very quickly. What you need to know more for achieving higher ELO, are king endgames and openings.

I mean, brazillian is international draughts on a 8x8 board, so tactics shouldn't be too different

@Waterwalker255 The basic difference in tactics between International and Brazilian is an endgame, because in the endgame board size does matter! A player can't escape from disadvantageous position in Brazilian with some sacrifices so easily as on 10x10 board, because on 8x8 board even an extra draughtsman in some endgames is sufficient for a win, while on 10x10 board you can have 2 extra draughtsmen and still have insufficient material for a win.
