Betting on backgammon might be enjoyable, especially if you understand how to win by playing effectively. But occasionally a tip or two can help you even more and develop you into a better competitor.
One of the best schemes to succeed is to lock your opposing player in. It’ll prevent them from moving their pieces from your home board. This has to be done early in the game to hold your competitors 2 pieces in your home boardthere. So you have to move your pieces to points seven, five, and 4 as rapidly as as you can and even 2 and three if possible. Maintain your point of six with the 6 pieces as it is. This will guarantee that your competitor can not get out of your home board and aid your chances of blocking them in to come out on top.
By barracading your opponent in, they will be hoping for double sixes once all other options have been completed to get those 2 checkers away from your home board. If doubles are not tossed, your challenger will be required to move one piece at a time, as long as they get a six or greater, and leave 1 piece behind and vulnerable. Of course while veering off your own checkers, ensure you do not leave one alone where your opponent can send you off the board to go through their side.
When you are not sure what to do, hit. This can assist you in winning owing to the fact that once your opponent is hit, that piece is the piece they need to move prior to doing anything else in the game. So if you hit them multiple times, they’ll have to return numerous checkers back to the board and get past your pieces to win. Make sure you do not hit where it will cause you to be open to being hit yourself. Unless of course it will be advantageous to you, as in early on in the game when your opposition will not have you locked in.
Hitting when you have a lock started can also be beneficial due to the fact that as soon as you get a couple of spots barricaded, your opponent will have a difficult time getting their checkers away from your home board and defeating you. It’s even possible to hit them numerous times and get your block ready. That way you will be able to prevent them from re-entering the game board and even being offered an opportunity at beating you.
These 2 tips are not the only tactic to win, but they’re great ideas for novices to develop into better enthusiasts. When you conquer these, being victorious most of the time certainly won’t seem to be such a complex thing to do.
