Enjoying backgammon can be exciting, particularly if you know how to succeed by playing properly. But every now and then a tip or two can assist you even more and make you a better player.
One of the better game plans to succeed is to block your opponent in. It’ll keep them from shifting their checkers away from your home board. This must be completed at the start of the game to keep your adversaries 2 pieces in your home boardthere. So you need to move your pieces to points seven, 5, and 4 as rapidly as as you can and even two and 3 if you can. Keep your point of 6 with the six pieces as it is. This will ensure that your competitor can’t get out of your home board and aid your chances of locking them in to come away with a win.
By locking your opposition in, they will be praying for double sixes once all other options have been made to get those 2 pieces out of your home board. If doubles are not rolled, your challenger will be forced to shift 1 checker at a time, as long as they toss a 6 or better, and leave one checker behind and vulnerable. Of course in the process of veering off your own checkers, be certain you don’t leave one by itself where your opponent can send you off the board to go through their home board.
When in doubt, hit. This can assist you in winning largely because as soon as your competitor is hit, that checker is the piece they need to move prior to doing anything else on the board. So if you hit them multiple times, they will have to get several checkers back to the board and get around your checkers to win. Make sure you don’t hit where it will cause you to be vulnerable to getting hit yourself. Except of course when will be beneficial to you, like early on in the game when your opposition won’t have you blocked in.
Hitting when you have a barricade started can also be beneficial due to the fact that as soon as you get several spots blocked, your opponent will have a difficult time getting their checkers out of your home board and winning. It’s even possible to hit them several times and get your lock ready. That way you will be able to barricade them from re-entering the game board and even being offered an opportunity at defeating you.
These two hints aren’t the only tactic to win, but they are good ways for amateurs to become more skillfull enthusiasts. When you master these, being victorious most of the time will not seem like such a demanding thing to do.
