The Essential Basics of Backgammon Strategies – Part 1
The objective of a Backgammon game is to shift your chips around the Backgammon board and bear them off the game board faster than your opposing player who works just as hard to do the same buthowever they move in the opposing direction. Winning a match in Backgammon requires both strategy and luck. Just how far you will be able to move your checkers is left to the numbers from rolling the dice, and how you move your pieces are determined by your overall playing tactics. Players use different plans in the different parts of a match dependent on your positions and opponent’s.
The Running Game Plan
The aim of the Running Game strategy is to lure all your chips into your home board and get them off as quick as you could. This plan focuses on the pace of moving your pieces with little or no time spent to hit or stop your competitor’s checkers. The best scenario to use this strategy is when you think you might be able to move your own pieces faster than your opposition does: when 1) you have less pieces on the game board; 2) all your pieces have past your competitor’s chips; or 3) your opposing player does not employ the hitting or blocking strategy.
The Blocking Game Tactic
The primary aim of the blocking tactic, by the name, is to block the opponent’s checkers, temporarily, while not fretting about moving your pieces quickly. After you’ve created the blockage for the competitor’s movement with a few pieces, you can shift your other chips quickly from the board. You should also have a clear strategy when to withdraw and shift the chips that you used for blocking. The game becomes interesting when the competitor uses the same blocking technique.
