The Essential Basics of Backgammon Strategies – Part One

[ English ]

The goal of a Backgammon game is to move your checkers around the game board and get those pieces off the board quicker than your challenger who works harder to attempt the same buthowever they move in the opposite direction. Winning a match of Backgammon requires both strategy and fortune. Just how far you can move your pieces is up to the numbers from tossing a pair of dice, and just how you shift your pieces are decided on by your overall gambling strategies. Players use differing techniques in the different parts of a match based on your positions and opponent’s.

The Running Game Tactic

The aim of the Running Game tactic is to lure all your chips into your inner board and bear them off as quickly as you can. This technique focuses on the speed of moving your pieces with little or no time spent to hit or stop your competitor’s checkers. The ideal scenario to employ this tactic is when you think you can shift your own chips a lot faster than the opponent does: when 1) you have a fewer pieces on the game board; 2) all your chips have moved beyond your opponent’s checkers; or 3) your opposing player does not use the hitting or blocking strategy.

The Blocking Game Technique

The primary goal of the blocking plan, by its title, is to stop your opponent’s chips, temporarily, not worrying about shifting your chips rapidly. After you have created the blockage for your opponent’s movement with a few pieces, you can move your other chips rapidly off the game board. You really should also have a clear strategy when to withdraw and shift the chips that you employed for the blockade. The game gets intriguing when your competitor uses the same blocking strategy.
