In extraordinarily general terms, there are three fundamental game plans employed. You want to be able to hop between techniques instantly as the course of the match unfolds.

The Blockade

This consists of creating a 6-deep wall of pieces, or at least as deep as you can manage, to barricade in your competitor’s checkers that are on your 1-point. This is deemed to be the most suitable tactic at the begining of the game. You can assemble the wall anyplace between your eleven-point and your 2-point and then shift it into your home board as the game continues.

The Blitz

This is composed of locking your home board as quick as as you can while keeping your challenger on the bar. i.e., if your opposer tosses an early 2 and shifts one piece from your one-point to your 3-point and you then toss a 5-5, you are able to play six/one 6/1 8/3 eight/three. Your challenger is then in big-time difficulty since they have 2 pieces on the bar and you have locked half your inner board!

The Backgame

This course of action is where you have 2 or more checkers in your opponent’s home board. (An anchor is a point consisting of at least 2 of your pieces.) It would be played when you are decidedly behind as this action much improves your circumstances. The best places for anchor spots are near your opponent’s smaller points and either on adjacent points or with a single point separating them. Timing is integral for an effectual backgame: besides, there’s no reason having 2 nice anchor spots and a complete wall in your own inner board if you are then required to break down this straight away, while your opponent is shifting their checkers home, owing to the fact that you do not have other extra checkers to shift! In this case, it is better to have pieces on the bar so that you are able to preserve your position up until your opposer provides you an opportunity to hit, so it may be a wonderful idea to attempt and get your opposer to get them in this situation!
