The Essential Details of Backgammon Strategies – Part 1

The aim of a Backgammon match is to shift your checkers around the Backgammon board and get those pieces from the board faster than your challenger who works just as hard to achieve the same buthowever they move in the opposing direction. Succeeding in a game of Backgammon requires both strategy and good luck. Just how far you will be able to move your chips is up to the numbers from rolling the dice, and just how you move your checkers are decided on by your overall playing techniques. Players use different tactics in the different stages of a game dependent on your positions and opponent’s.

The Running Game Technique

The aim of the Running Game strategy is to bring all your pieces into your inner board and pull them off as quick as you can. This strategy concentrates on the speed of moving your checkers with no efforts to hit or barricade your opponent’s checkers. The best time to employ this plan is when you think you can shift your own chips quicker than your opposition does: when 1) you have a fewer pieces on the board; 2) all your pieces have past your opponent’s pieces; or 3) your opponent doesn’t employ the hitting or blocking tactic.

The Blocking Game Strategy

The main aim of the blocking technique, by its title, is to block your opponent’s chips, temporarily, while not fretting about moving your chips quickly. As soon as you’ve created the barrier for the competitor’s movement with a few chips, you can shift your other pieces quickly from the board. The player really should also have a clear strategy when to back off and shift the pieces that you employed for blocking. The game becomes interesting when your opposition uses the same blocking technique.
