The Essential Details of Backgammon Tactics – Part 1

The objective of a Backgammon match is to move your checkers around the game board and bear them off the game board quicker than your competitor who works just as hard to attempt the same buthowever they move in the opposite direction. Winning a round in Backgammon requires both strategy and fortune. How far you will be able to shift your checkers is left to the numbers from tossing a pair of dice, and how you move your pieces are decided on by your overall playing tactics. Players use a few tactics in the differing parts of a game dependent on your positions and opponent’s.

The Running Game Plan

The goal of the Running Game strategy is to lure all your pieces into your inside board and get them off as quick as you can. This tactic concentrates on the speed of moving your pieces with no efforts to hit or barricade your competitor’s pieces. The ideal scenario to use this strategy is when you believe you might be able to move your own checkers a lot faster than the opposition does: when 1) you have a fewer chips on the game board; 2) all your chips have past your opponent’s pieces; or 3) your opposing player does not employ the hitting or blocking tactic.

The Blocking Game Technique

The main goal of the blocking tactic, by its title, is to block the competitor’s checkers, temporarily, while not worrying about shifting your chips rapidly. As soon as you’ve created the blockade for the opponent’s movement with a few checkers, you can move your other pieces quickly off the game board. The player should also have an apparent strategy when to extract and move the chips that you used for blocking. The game becomes interesting when the opponent uses the same blocking tactic.
