In match situations then as an inferior player you could try blitzing your opponent. This is to aggressively double and re-double at every available opportunity to increase the variance within the game. I have already touched on this tactic and it is akin to playing very aggressively in tournament poker. In that game then world class players do not want to get all in except with very strong hands. Why should they allow themselves to get all in with say a hand like 10-10 against A-K in a deep stacked situation when they could just continue to outplay their opponents?
Pocket tens is a marginal favourite against A-K but being a marginal underdog is a great result when your opponent is vastly superior to you. Suddenly you have totally offset their skill advantage by playing really aggressively and reducing poker to a game with only one street or two at the most. This is the same in backgammon because trying to reduce say a 21pt match to a few games is in the interests of the inferior player. If the score was say 8-7 to your opponent and they were superior to you and they doubled in a situation that was marginally advantageous then you could immediately re-double. That 8-7 score could have been derived by playing as many as fifteen games that were all singles.
It would be accepted but the cube would now be on 4. If the game suddenly swung and you won that game with a double game then you would get a huge eight points for that game and jump into a 15-8 lead which would be difficult for your opponent to pull back. Suddenly the entire game has been transformed by just a few rolls of the dice and this is clearly in the interests of the inferior player.
