The Essential Facts of Backgammon Strategies – Part One

[ English ]

The goal of a Backgammon game is to shift your checkers around the Backgammon board and pull them from the game board quicker than your competitor who works harder to do the same buthowever they move in the opposing direction. Succeeding in a round of Backgammon requires both tactics and fortune. How far you will be able to move your chips is up to the numbers from rolling the dice, and how you shift your checkers are decided on by your overall playing plans. Players use differing techniques in the differing stages of a match depending on your positions and opponent’s.

The Running Game Technique

The aim of the Running Game strategy is to entice all your pieces into your inner board and get them off as quick as you can. This strategy focuses on the pace of advancing your pieces with no efforts to hit or block your opponent’s pieces. The best time to use this tactic is when you think you might be able to move your own pieces a lot faster than the opposing player does: when 1) you have a fewer checkers on the game board; 2) all your checkers have moved beyond your competitor’s checkers; or 3) the opponent doesn’t use the hitting or blocking tactic.

The Blocking Game Tactic

The main goal of the blocking tactic, by the title, is to stop your competitor’s chips, temporarily, not fretting about shifting your chips quickly. Once you’ve established the blockage for your opponent’s movement with a couple of pieces, you can shift your other checkers rapidly from the board. The player really should also have an apparent strategy when to back off and shift the chips that you employed for blocking. The game becomes interesting when your competitor uses the same blocking tactic.
