The Essential Basics of Backgammon Tactics – Part 1

[ English ]

The goal of a Backgammon game is to move your checkers around the Backgammon board and get them off the game board quicker than your opposing player who works just as hard to achieve the same buthowever they move in the opposite direction. Succeeding in a game in Backgammon requires both tactics and fortune. How far you will be able to move your pieces is up to the numbers from tossing a pair of dice, and how you move your checkers are decided on by your overall gambling techniques. Enthusiasts use a number of tactics in the differing stages of a game dependent on your positions and opponent’s.

The Running Game Strategy

The aim of the Running Game tactic is to bring all your checkers into your inner board and bear them off as quick as you could. This tactic focuses on the pace of moving your pieces with little or no efforts to hit or stop your competitor’s checkers. The ideal scenario to employ this tactic is when you believe you can shift your own pieces a lot faster than your opposing player does: when 1) you have a fewer pieces on the game board; 2) all your chips have past your opponent’s checkers; or 3) the opponent doesn’t use the hitting or blocking plan.

The Blocking Game Tactic

The main aim of the blocking strategy, by its title, is to stop the opponent’s checkers, temporarily, while not worrying about shifting your pieces rapidly. Once you’ve created the barrier for your competitor’s movement with a few checkers, you can shift your other pieces swiftly off the game board. The player should also have a clear plan when to extract and shift the checkers that you utilized for blocking. The game gets intriguing when your opponent uses the same blocking tactic.
