In extraordinarily simple terms, there are three fundamental techniques used. You need to be agile enough to hop between tactics almost instantly as the course of the game unfolds.

The Blockade

This is comprised of creating a 6-deep wall of checkers, or at least as deep as you are able to achieve, to barricade in your opponent’s checkers that are located on your 1-point. This is deemed to be the most acceptable course of action at the begining of the match. You can build the wall anyplace within your 11-point and your two-point and then shift it into your home board as the match progresses.

The Blitz

This involves locking your home board as quick as possible while keeping your competitor on the bar. i.e., if your competitor tosses an early 2 and shifts one piece from your one-point to your three-point and you then roll a 5-5, you are able to play 6/1 six/one eight/three eight/three. Your challenger is now in serious trouble because they have two checkers on the bar and you have locked half your inner board!

The Backgame

This plan is where you have 2 or higher pieces in your competitor’s inner board. (An anchor is a point consisting of at a minimum 2 of your pieces.) It needs to be used when you are significantly behind as this action greatly improves your opportunities. The strongest places for anchor spots are near your competitor’s smaller points and also on adjoining points or with one point separating them. Timing is crucial for an effectual backgame: at the end of the day, there’s no point having 2 nice anchor spots and a complete wall in your own inner board if you are then forced to break apart this right away, while your competitor is getting their pieces home, seeing that you do not have any other additional pieces to shift! In this case, it is better to have checkers on the bar so that you might preserve your position up until your challenger provides you an opportunity to hit, so it may be an excellent idea to attempt and get your opposer to hit them in this situation!
