In exceptionally simple terms, there are 3 chief plans used. You want to be agile enough to hop between strategies almost instantly as the course of the match unfolds.
The Blockade
This is composed of creating a 6-thick wall of pieces, or at a minimum as thick as you can manage, to lock in your competitor’s checkers that are located on your 1-point. This is considered to be the most adequate tactic at the begining of the match. You can create the wall anyplace inbetween your eleven-point and your 2-point and then move it into your home board as the match advances.
The Blitz
This is comprised of locking your home board as fast as as you can while keeping your competitor on the bar. e.g., if your opposer tosses an early 2 and shifts one piece from your one-point to your 3-point and you then roll a five-five, you can play 6/1 6/1 8/3 eight/three. Your competitor is then in serious trouble due to the fact that they have two pieces on the bar and you have locked half your inner board!
The Backgame
This plan is where you have 2 or more checkers in your opponent’s inner board. (An anchor spot is a point occupied by at least two of your checkers.) It should be used when you are significantly behind as it much improves your circumstances. The better places for anchor spots are close to your competitor’s lower points and also on abutting points or with a single point separating them. Timing is integral for an effective backgame: besides, there is no reason having 2 nice anchors and a solid wall in your own inner board if you are then required to break up this straight away, while your competitor is getting their checkers home, seeing that you do not have other extra pieces to shift! In this situation, it’s more favorable to have checkers on the bar so that you might preserve your position until your challenger gives you an opportunity to hit, so it can be an excellent idea to attempt and get your opposer to hit them in this situation!
