The Essential Facts of Backgammon Strategies – Part 1

The objective of a Backgammon match is to move your checkers around the Backgammon board and pull those pieces from the game board faster than your opposing player who works just as hard to do the same buthowever they move in the opposing direction. Succeeding in a game in Backgammon requires both strategy and fortune. How far you will be able to move your checkers is up to the numbers from rolling a pair of dice, and the way you move your chips are decided on by your overall playing plans. Players use a few tactics in the differing stages of a match depending on your positions and opponent’s.

The Running Game Strategy

The aim of the Running Game plan is to entice all your chips into your inner board and bear them off as fast as you could. This technique concentrates on the pace of shifting your chips with no efforts to hit or barricade your competitor’s checkers. The ideal scenario to employ this tactic is when you believe you can shift your own pieces quicker than your opponent does: when 1) you have a fewer chips on the board; 2) all your checkers have moved beyond your opponent’s pieces; or 3) the opposing player does not use the hitting or blocking strategy.

The Blocking Game Technique

The main goal of the blocking technique, by its title, is to stop the competitor’s chips, temporarily, not fretting about shifting your pieces quickly. Once you have established the blockage for your competitor’s movement with a few chips, you can shift your other pieces rapidly from the game board. The player will need to also have a clear plan when to extract and shift the pieces that you used for blocking. The game gets intriguing when your competitor uses the same blocking strategy.
