The Basics of Backgammon Strategies – Part One
The aim of a Backgammon game is to move your checkers around the game board and bear those pieces from the game board faster than your challenger who works harder to achieve the same buthowever they move in the opposite direction. Winning a round of Backgammon requires both tactics and luck. Just how far you can shift your checkers is left to the numbers from rolling a pair of dice, and how you move your pieces are decided on by your overall playing plans. Players use differing plans in the differing parts of a match depending on your positions and opponent’s.
The Running Game Plan
The aim of the Running Game tactic is to entice all your pieces into your inner board and pull them off as quick as you could. This tactic concentrates on the speed of shifting your pieces with no time spent to hit or barricade your competitor’s checkers. The ideal time to use this strategy is when you think you might be able to move your own chips quicker than your opposing player does: when 1) you have less pieces on the board; 2) all your checkers have moved beyond your opponent’s checkers; or 3) your opposing player does not employ the hitting or blocking strategy.
The Blocking Game Strategy
The main aim of the blocking plan, by its title, is to stop the competitor’s pieces, temporarily, not worrying about shifting your checkers rapidly. As soon as you’ve established the barrier for your competitor’s movement with a few pieces, you can move your other chips rapidly from the game board. You should also have a clear plan when to withdraw and shift the chips that you employed for blocking. The game becomes interesting when the opponent uses the same blocking technique.
