The Basics of Backgammon Strategies – Part 1
The aim of a Backgammon match is to shift your checkers around the Backgammon board and get them from the game board faster than your challenger who works just as hard to do the same buthowever they move in the opposing direction. Winning a round of Backgammon requires both tactics and fortune. Just how far you can move your checkers is left to the numbers from tossing a pair of dice, and how you move your checkers are determined by your overall playing techniques. Enthusiasts use a few strategies in the different stages of a match based on your positions and opponent’s.
The Running Game Tactic
The goal of the Running Game technique is to lure all your checkers into your inner board and bear them off as quick as you can. This strategy focuses on the speed of shifting your chips with no efforts to hit or block your competitor’s checkers. The best scenario to use this plan is when you believe you can move your own checkers faster than your opposing player does: when 1) you have less checkers on the board; 2) all your chips have moved beyond your competitor’s checkers; or 3) the opponent does not use the hitting or blocking strategy.
The Blocking Game Strategy
The main goal of the blocking strategy, by the title, is to block your opponent’s checkers, temporarily, while not fretting about shifting your pieces quickly. Once you’ve created the blockage for your opponent’s movement with a few pieces, you can move your other pieces quickly off the game board. You will need to also have a clear plan when to extract and move the chips that you used for the blockade. The game becomes intriguing when your opposition uses the same blocking tactic.
