The Basics of Backgammon Strategies – Part 1

[ English ]

The objective of a Backgammon game is to shift your pieces around the Backgammon board and bear them from the game board faster than your opposing player who works harder to attempt the same buthowever they move in the opposing direction. Winning a round in Backgammon needsrequires both tactics and fortune. How far you will be able to shift your checkers is up to the numbers from rolling a pair of dice, and just how you shift your chips are determined by your overall playing techniques. Players use a number of plans in the different parts of a game depending on your positions and opponent’s.

The Running Game Plan

The goal of the Running Game strategy is to bring all your pieces into your inner board and pull them off as fast as you could. This tactic focuses on the speed of advancing your chips with no time spent to hit or barricade your competitor’s checkers. The ideal scenario to use this technique is when you believe you might be able to move your own pieces a lot faster than your opposition does: when 1) you have a fewer pieces on the board; 2) all your pieces have past your competitor’s chips; or 3) your opponent does not use the hitting or blocking tactic.

The Blocking Game Tactic

The main goal of the blocking plan, by its name, is to block your competitor’s checkers, temporarily, while not worrying about shifting your chips rapidly. After you have created the blockage for the competitor’s movement with a couple of checkers, you can shift your other chips rapidly off the game board. You will need to also have an apparent strategy when to extract and shift the chips that you used for blocking. The game becomes intriguing when the opponent uses the same blocking technique.
