The Essential Facts of Backgammon Tactics – Part One

Succeeding in a match in Backgammon requires both tactics and luck. Just how far you can move your chips is left to the numbers from rolling a pair of dice, and the way you shift your chips are determined by your overall playing plans. Enthusiasts use a number of plans in the differing stages of a match depending on your positions and opponent’s.

The Running Game Technique

The goal of the Running Game plan is to entice all your chips into your inside board and get them off as quick as you could. This technique concentrates on the speed of advancing your checkers with no efforts to hit or stop your competitor’s pieces. The best time to use this tactic is when you think you might be able to shift your own pieces a lot faster than your opposing player does: when 1) you have less pieces on the board; 2) all your checkers have past your opponent’s checkers; or 3) the opponent doesn’t use the hitting or blocking technique.

The Blocking Game Technique

The primary aim of the blocking strategy, by its title, is to block the opponent’s pieces, temporarily, not fretting about moving your checkers rapidly. After you’ve established the blockage for your opponent’s movement with a couple of chips, you can move your other pieces swiftly off the game board. You should also have a clear strategy when to extract and move the checkers that you utilized for the blockade. The game becomes intriguing when the competitor utilizes the same blocking strategy.
