The Essential Details of Backgammon Strategies – Part One

The goal of a Backgammon game is to move your chips around the game board and bear those pieces from the game board quicker than your competitor who works harder to attempt the same buthowever they move in the opposing direction. Winning a match of Backgammon requires both strategy and luck. How far you can move your chips is left to the numbers from rolling a pair of dice, and how you shift your pieces are decided on by your overall playing techniques. Players use differing tactics in the differing parts of a match based on your positions and opponent’s.

The Running Game Strategy

The goal of the Running Game plan is to entice all your pieces into your inside board and bear them off as fast as you could. This strategy concentrates on the pace of shifting your pieces with no efforts to hit or block your competitor’s chips. The best scenario to employ this plan is when you believe you can move your own checkers a lot faster than your opposition does: when 1) you have a fewer checkers on the game board; 2) all your pieces have past your competitor’s pieces; or 3) the opposing player does not employ the hitting or blocking strategy.

The Blocking Game Plan

The main goal of the blocking strategy, by the name, is to stop the competitor’s pieces, temporarily, not worrying about moving your pieces quickly. Once you have established the blockade for the competitor’s movement with a few pieces, you can shift your other pieces quickly off the game board. You should also have a good strategy when to extract and shift the chips that you utilized for blocking. The game gets intriguing when your opponent utilizes the same blocking strategy.
