In astonishingly simple terms, there are 3 basic plans employed. You need to be able to switch tactics almost instantly as the action of the match unfolds.

The Blockade

This is composed of creating a 6-deep wall of pieces, or at least as thick as you are able to manage, to lock in your opponent’s pieces that are on your 1-point. This is considered to be the most adequate procedure at the start of the game. You can build the wall anyplace within your 11-point and your 2-point and then move it into your home board as the match progresses.

The Blitz

This consists of closing your home board as quick as as you can while keeping your opposer on the bar. e.g., if your opposer rolls an early 2 and shifts one checker from your one-point to your three-point and you then roll a 5-5, you will be able to play 6/1 6/1 8/3 eight/three. Your competitor is then in serious dire straits taking into account that they have two pieces on the bar and you have locked half your home board!

The Backgame

This course of action is where you have 2 or higher pieces in your opponent’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 extremely behind as this plan greatly improves your opportunities. The better areas for anchor spots are towards your opponent’s smaller points and also on adjacent points or with a single point separating them. Timing is essential for a competent backgame: after all, there’s no reason having two nice anchors and a complete wall in your own inner board if you are then forced to dismantle this straight away, while your opposer is getting their checkers home, because you don’t have any other extra pieces to move! In this case, it is more tolerable to have checkers on the bar so that you can maintain your position until your opposer provides you a chance to hit, so it will be a great idea to attempt and get your opposer to get them in this case!
