The Basics of Backgammon Strategies – Part 1

The aim of a Backgammon match is to shift your pieces around the Backgammon board and bear those pieces from the board faster than your opposing player who works harder to achieve the same buthowever they move in the opposing direction. Winning a match of Backgammon needsrequires both tactics and fortune. How far you will be able to shift your pieces is left to the numbers from tossing the dice, and the way you move your checkers are decided on by your overall playing tactics. Enthusiasts use a few techniques in the different stages of a game based on your positions and opponent’s.

The Running Game Technique

The aim of the Running Game strategy is to lure all your pieces into your inner board and pull them off as quickly as you could. This tactic concentrates on the speed of shifting your pieces with absolutely no time spent to hit or block your competitor’s checkers. The best time to use this tactic is when you think you can shift your own checkers a lot faster than your opposition does: when 1) you have less chips on the game board; 2) all your checkers have past your competitor’s pieces; or 3) the opponent doesn’t employ the hitting or blocking plan.

The Blocking Game Strategy

The primary goal of the blocking strategy, by the title, is to stop your competitor’s checkers, temporarily, while not fretting about shifting your checkers quickly. After you have created the blockade for your opponent’s movement with a couple of pieces, you can move your other chips swiftly from the game board. The player will need to also have a clear strategy when to withdraw and move the pieces that you utilized for the blockade. The game becomes interesting when your opposition utilizes the same blocking tactic.
