Playing backgammon might be enjoyable, especially if you know how to succeed by playing properly. But occasionally a pointer or two can help you even more and develop you into a better competitor.

One of the greatest schemes to win is to barricade your opponent in. It’ll prevent them from moving their checkers away from your home board. This has to be completed early in the game to hold your adversaries two checkers in your home boardthere. So you need to shift your checkers to points 7, five, and 4 as swiftly as as you can and even 2 and 3 if you can. Maintain your point of six with the 6 checkers as it is. This will ensure that your competitor can not get out of your home board and aid your odds of locking them in to win.

By barracading your opposition in, they’ll be looking for double 6’s once all other moves have been made to get those 2 checkers away from your home board. If doubles aren’t tossed, your challenger will be compelled to shift one checker at a time, as long as they toss a 6 or greater, and leave 1 checker vulnerable behind. Of course in the process of moving your own pieces, make sure you don’t leave one alone where your opposition can send you off the board to make your way through their home board.

When you are not sure what to do, hit. This can help you win owing to the fact that as soon as your opposition is hit, that checker is the checker they must move prior to doing anything else in the game. So if you hit them multiple times, they’ll have to get many checkers back on the board and get around your checkers to win. Make sure you do not hit where it’ll cause you to be open to getting hit yourself. Unless of course it will be advantageous to you, like early on in the game when your opposition will not have you blocked in.

Hitting when you have a lock started can also be good due to the fact that as soon as you get several spots barricaded, your challenger will have a difficult time moving their pieces away from your home board and winning. It’s even possible to hit them numerous times and get your barricade ready. That way you can lock them from returning to the game and even being offered a chance at beating you.

These two tricks aren’t the only strategy to succeed, but they are good ways for beginners to grow into more accomplished enthusiasts. Once you master these, being victorious most of the time won’t appear to be such a hard thing to do.
