The Basics of Backgammon Strategies – Part One

The objective of a Backgammon game is to move your checkers around the game board and bear those pieces off the game board quicker than your challenger who works harder to achieve the same buthowever they move in the opposite direction. Succeeding in a round in Backgammon needsrequires both strategy and luck. Just how far you will be able to move your checkers is left to the numbers from rolling the dice, and just how you move your checkers are decided on by your overall gambling tactics. Players use different plans in the different stages of a match depending on your positions and opponent’s.

The Running Game Plan

The goal of the Running Game technique is to entice all your checkers into your inner board and bear them off as quickly as you can. This technique concentrates on the speed of moving your checkers with absolutely no efforts to hit or stop your opponent’s chips. The ideal time to use this technique is when you think you might be able to move your own pieces faster than your opposition does: when 1) you have a fewer checkers on the game board; 2) all your checkers have past your opponent’s pieces; or 3) the opposing player does not employ the hitting or blocking technique.

The Blocking Game Tactic

The main goal of the blocking tactic, by the name, is to block the competitor’s pieces, temporarily, not worrying about shifting your pieces quickly. As soon as you’ve created the blockage for the competitor’s movement with a couple of checkers, you can shift your other pieces swiftly off the board. You will need to also have a good plan when to withdraw and shift the pieces that you employed for the blockade. The game gets intriguing when your opposition utilizes the same blocking technique.
