    The Blockade

    This involves building a 6-thick wall of checkers, or at least as thick as you might achieve, to block in the competitor’s checkers that are on your 1-point.

You can create the wall anywhere inbetween your eleven-point and your two-point and then shift it into your home board as the match continues.

    The Blitz

    This involves closing your home board as quick as possible while keeping your opposer on the bar. For example, if your challenger rolls an early two and moves one piece from your one-point to your three-point and you then toss a five-five, you can play 6/1 6/1 8/3 8/3. Your opposer is now in big-time dire straits considering that they have two pieces on the bar and you have closed half your home board!

    The Backgame

    This course of action is where you have two or more anchors in your competitor’s inner board. (An anchor spot is a position occupied by at a minimum 2 of your pieces.) It needs to be employed when you are extremely behind as this strategy much improves your circumstances. The better locations for anchors are close to your opponent’s lower points and also on abutting points or with one point in between.

In this situation, it is more tolerable to have pieces on the bar so that you might maintain your position up until your challenger provides you an opportunity to hit, so it can be a wonderful idea to attempt and get your competitor to get them in this case!
