In extraordinarily simple terms, there are three chief plans employed. You need to be agile enough to switch game plans quickly as the course of the game unfolds.

The Blockade

This is comprised of assembling a 6-thick wall of pieces, or at a minimum as thick as you might manage, to barricade in the competitor’s pieces that are located on your 1-point. This is judged to be the most adequate strategy at the start of the match. You can create the wall anyplace between your eleven-point and your two-point and then shift it into your home board as the match continues.

The Blitz

This involves closing your home board as fast as possible while keeping your opponent on the bar. For example, if your competitor rolls an early two and shifts one piece from your one-point to your 3-point and you then toss a 5-5, you can play six/one 6/1 eight/three eight/three. Your challenger is then in serious calamity seeing that they have 2 pieces on the bar and you have closed half your inner board!

The Backgame

This tactic is where you have two or more checkers in your competitor’s home board. (An anchor spot is a point consisting of at a minimum 2 of your checkers.) It would be employed when you are decidedly behind as this strategy much improves your circumstances. The better locations for anchor spots are near your opponent’s smaller points and also on abutting points or with one point in between. Timing is essential for an effectual backgame: after all, there’s no point having two nice anchors and a solid wall in your own home board if you are then forced to break up this straight away, while your opponent is getting their checkers home, seeing that you don’t have any other extra checkers to move! In this case, it is more favorable to have checkers on the bar so that you might preserve your position up till your opposer gives you an opportunity to hit, so it will be a great idea to try and get your opponent to get them in this case!
