The Basics of Backgammon Strategies – Part 1
The goal of a Backgammon game is to move your checkers around the Backgammon board and get those pieces from the board faster than your opposing player who works harder to attempt the same buthowever they move in the opposite direction. Succeeding in a match in Backgammon requires both tactics and good luck. How far you can move your chips is left to the numbers from tossing a pair of dice, and the way you move your checkers are determined by your overall gambling plans. Players use a few tactics in the different stages of a game based on your positions and opponent’s.
The Running Game Tactic
The goal of the Running Game strategy is to bring all your checkers into your inner board and pull them off as fast as you can. This technique concentrates on the speed of moving your pieces with little or no time spent to hit or barricade your opponent’s checkers. The best time to employ this plan is when you believe you might be able to shift your own pieces faster than your opposing player does: when 1) you have less chips on the game board; 2) all your pieces have past your competitor’s chips; or 3) the opponent does not use the hitting or blocking technique.
The Blocking Game Tactic
The main goal of the blocking plan, by the title, is to stop your competitor’s checkers, temporarily, while not worrying about moving your pieces quickly. Once you have created the barrier for your competitor’s movement with a couple of checkers, you can shift your other checkers rapidly off the game board. You really should also have an apparent plan when to withdraw and move the checkers that you employed for blocking. The game becomes interesting when your opposition utilizes the same blocking technique.
