Strategy when the feelings gone and you can't go on its strategy….
It could almost have been written for a backgammon player. Strategy is the most important part of a backgammon game and is an important lesson to learn even for beginners. Here are some strategy points that are worth considering when setting out your game plan.
Safe Play: Highly recommended – the best way to counteract your checkers being hit, especially in running games.
Safe Hits: All the time you are hitting watch out for the same happening to you:
Back Checkers: Get them out as quickly as possible or you will be blocked in and can't move.
Direct Shots Offer more impact than indirect ones
Block Your Opponents Back Checkers Pieces: Close down points your opposition needs to break your blockade. Pay attention to 5 (20), 4 (21), and the bar point.
Play a risk from time to time: You could lose your position but sometimes it's worth the chance to win a game.
Start Bearing off as soon as you can with as many checkers as possible with each throw using other throws to fill empty points.
Call up your Helpers quickly to your outer table
Remember: Pieces you dare not move are not helping you, see what you have at your disposal and implement them.
Build up Points consecutively: between points 8 (17) and 4 (21) if possible.. This puts the oppositions back checkers in a difficult position to get out.
Use a six-prime, it's the strongest formation, as the opposition can't hurdle it...
Usually the player with his prime intact longer typically wins the game, in a struggle between primes timing is crucial.
With a six-prime, you can stay on the bar missing a roll or two, since this helps your timing.
If you try to follow at last some of these games next time you come to play backgammon, your strategy shouldn't be a tragedy. Good Luck.
