The Basics of Backgammon Strategies – Part 1

The objective of a Backgammon match is to shift your checkers around the game board and bear those pieces off the game board faster than your challenger who works harder to attempt the same buthowever they move in the opposite direction. Succeeding in a round in Backgammon needsrequires both strategy and fortune. Just how far you can move your checkers is left to the numbers from rolling a pair of dice, and just how you move your chips are determined by your overall gambling strategies. Players use different tactics in the different stages of a game based on your positions and opponent’s.

The Running Game Tactic

The goal of the Running Game technique is to entice all your checkers into your inner board and get them off as quickly as you could. This plan focuses on the pace of advancing your chips with absolutely no efforts to hit or block your competitor’s chips. The ideal time to employ this strategy is when you believe you might be able to move your own chips a lot faster than the opponent does: when 1) you have a fewer pieces on the board; 2) all your chips have past your opponent’s chips; or 3) your opposing player doesn’t employ the hitting or blocking technique.

The Blocking Game Plan

The main aim of the blocking plan, by the name, is to block your competitor’s checkers, temporarily, not fretting about shifting your chips quickly. As soon as you’ve created the blockage for the competitor’s movement with a few chips, you can move your other pieces quickly off the board. You really should also have an apparent plan when to withdraw and move the checkers that you employed for the blockade. The game gets interesting when your competitor uses the same blocking strategy.
