In exceptionally simple terms, there are three chief strategies employed. You must be agile enough to switch tactics instantly as the course of the match unfolds.

The Blockade

This comprises of creating a 6-deep wall of pieces, or at a minimum as deep as you might achieve, to block in the competitor’s pieces that are located on your 1-point. This is considered to be the most suitable procedure at the start of the match. You can assemble the wall anyplace within your 11-point and your two-point and then shuffle it into your home board as the match advances.

The Blitz

This involves locking your home board as fast as possible while keeping your opposer on the bar. e.g., if your challenger rolls an early 2 and moves one checker from your 1-point to your three-point and you then toss a 5-5, you are able to play 6/1 6/1 eight/three 8/3. Your opponent is now in big-time difficulty taking into account that they have two pieces on the bar and you have closed half your inside board!

The Backgame

This strategy is where you have two or more anchors in your opponent’s home board. (An anchor spot is a point filled by at least two of your checkers.) It would be played when you are decidedly behind as this strategy much improves your opportunities. The strongest areas for anchor spots are near your opponent’s lower points and also on adjoining points or with a single point separating them. Timing is important for an effective backgame: besides, there is no reason having 2 nice anchor spots and a solid wall in your own home board if you are then forced to break down this straight away, while your opponent is moving their checkers home, taking into account that you don’t have other spare pieces to shift! In this case, it is better to have checkers on the bar so that you are able to preserve your position until your opponent provides you an opportunity to hit, so it will be a wonderful idea to attempt and get your challenger to hit them in this case!
