Playing backgammon could be fun, especially if you understand how to win by playing effectively. But every now and then a pointer or two can help you even more and make you a better player.
One of the greatest strategies to succeed is to lock your opposition in. It’ll keep them from advancing their pieces out of your home board. This has to be completed early in the match to hold your opponents 2 pieces in your home boardthere. So you have to move your checkers to points seven, 5, and 4 as swiftly as as you can and even 2 and three if at all possible. Maintain your point of 6 with the 6 checkers where it is. This will make sure that your competitor can not will not be able to leave your home board and help your chances of locking them in to come away with a win.
By blocking your competitor in, they’ll be praying for double sixes as soon as all other options have been completed to get those 2 checkers from your home board. If doubles aren’t tossed, your opposition will be required to move 1 checker at a time, as long as they toss a 6 or greater, and leave one checker behind and vulnerable. Of course while veering off your own checkers, make sure you don’t leave 1 alone where your challenger can send you off to the bar to make your way through their home board.
When in doubt, hit. This can help you win because as soon as your opponent is hit, that checker is the piece they must move prior to doing anything else in the game. So if you hit them numerous times, they’ll have to get numerous pieces back to the board and get past your checkers to succeed. Be certain you do not hit where it’ll cause you to be open to getting hit yourself. Unless of course it will be beneficial to you, as in early on in the game when your competitor will not have you blocked in.
Hitting when you have a block started can also be beneficial due to the fact that as soon as you get a couple of spots locked, your opposition will have a harder time moving their checkers out of your home board and winning. It’s even possible to hit them a number of times and get your barricade finished. That way you will be able to stop them from re-entering the game and even having an opportunity at crushing you.
These two hints aren’t the only strategy to win, but they are exceptional ways for amateurs to grow into better players. When you master these, being victorious most of the time won’t appear to be such a demanding thing to do.
