In astonishingly simple terms, there are 3 general plans employed. You want to be agile enough to switch game plans quickly as the action of the match unfolds.

The Blockade

This is comprised of building a 6-deep wall of pieces, or at a minimum as thick as you can achieve, to lock in your opponent’s checkers that are located on your 1-point. This is deemed to be the most suitable course of action at the begining of the match. You can create the wall anyplace within your eleven-point and your 2-point and then move it into your home board as the match progresses.

The Blitz

This involves locking your home board as quickly as as you can while keeping your opponent on the bar. e.g., if your opposer rolls an early two and shifts one checker from your one-point to your three-point and you then toss a five-five, you can play 6/1 6/1 eight/three eight/three. Your competitor is now in serious difficulty seeing that they have two checkers on the bar and you have locked half your home board!

The Backgame

This tactic is where you have 2 or more anchors in your opponent’s home board. (An anchor is a position occupied by at least 2 of your checkers.) It must be employed when you are decidedly behind as this strategy greatly improves your opportunities. The strongest areas for anchor spots are near your competitor’s lower points and either on adjacent points or with one point in between. Timing is integral for an effective backgame: besides, there is no reason having 2 nice anchors and a solid wall in your own home board if you are then forced to break up this straight away, while your opposer is shifting their pieces home, owing to the fact that you don’t have other extra checkers to move! In this case, it’s more favorable to have pieces on the bar so that you might maintain your position up till your opponent provides you an opportunity to hit, so it can be a great idea to attempt and get your competitor to hit them in this situation!
