Basic Backgammon Strategies

/2008-02-08/

I don't care what you say, backgammon is not poker!

Try to block your competitor as early as possible without exiting your home board.

Try to distribute your checkers in pairs.

The preference should be to hit a checker on your competitor’s side

Try to set up a prime. Prime means six points in a row and restricts your competitor to move out from behind the prime.

Try to be exposed as little as possible to set a solid defense.

Find out your ‘on-game strategy’ for blots. Try to hit the blots which you feel your competitor is going to cover.

Double or redouble only when you are cocksure. Also remember declination of a double will award points to the competitor.

Defend your blots correctly.

Rolls of six and four OR one and three OR three and five are ideal. These rolls may enable you to place two checkers together to block your competitor. Some people say that Double one(s) are the ideal roll because this will allow you to move from your eighth point to your bar point OR Sixth point to the fifth.

Try to set up defensive points on your outer board. These points are called anchors which will help you when you get hit. Experts advise when you are behind in the race, it’s better to leave anchors.

When you find your competitor is likely to bear off, try to move your checkers from the outer board at the earliest opportunity possible, or else your competitor will get triple points as bonus
