Why Not Try the Blitz Strategy…Pretty Cool Way to Play, Say Experts

I gotta begin as I always do: I am no expert. I love backgammon. I play. I win. I lose.

I’m a reporter. When I want to find out something, I go to the experts and let them tell me how to play…and then I tell you.

Hence….

The blitz tactic.

The idea is to attack the opponent’s checkers.

This means you can keep him busy with re-entering them.

But this is not enough, if you don’t start blocking the points on your home board. This would pay off big time if your counterpart is kept with checkers on the bar until you start bearing off. This is then your game.

Still this tactic may be risky as you may be blocked to make anchors in your home area, and the course of the game may go against you.

Check to see if it is wise to risk being hit. If your opponent has many anchors in his home area, blitz game strategy is not a wise thing to do. When playing online for real money you should know when to double.

At least that’s what the pros say.
