In exceptionally simple terms, there are three fundamental game plans used. You must be agile enough to hop between tactics quickly as the course of the game unfolds.

The Blockade

This comprises of building a 6-thick wall of pieces, or at least as deep as you might achieve, to barricade in your competitor’s checkers that are located on your 1-point. This is considered to be the most suitable procedure at the start of the game. You can assemble the wall anywhere between your 11-point and your two-point and then move it into your home board as the match continues.

The Blitz

This is composed of closing your home board as fast as as you can while keeping your opposer on the bar. e.g., if your challenger tosses an early 2 and shifts one checker from your 1-point to your 3-point and you then toss a five-five, you are able to play 6/1 six/one eight/three 8/3. Your competitor is now in big-time calamity seeing that they have 2 checkers on the bar and you have closed half your inner board!

The Backgame

This strategy is where you have two or more pieces in your competitor’s inner board. (An anchor is a point occupied by at a minimum two of your checkers.) It must be employed when you are decidedly behind as it much improves your circumstances. The strongest places for anchor spots are towards your competitor’s lower points and either on adjacent points or with a single point in between. Timing is essential for an effective backgame: at the end of the day, there’s no reason having 2 nice anchor spots and a solid wall in your own inner board if you are then forced to dismantle this straight away, while your opposer is shifting their pieces home, seeing that you don’t have other extra pieces to shift! In this case, it is better to have pieces on the bar so that you are able to maintain your position until your challenger gives you an opportunity to hit, so it will be a wonderful idea to try and get your challenger to hit them in this situation!
