The Essential Basics of Backgammon Strategies – Part One
The objective of a Backgammon match is to move your chips around the game board and pull those pieces off the game 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 fortune. Just how far you can shift your chips is up to the numbers from tossing the dice, and the way you move your checkers are decided on by your overall playing plans. Enthusiasts use differing plans in the differing parts of a match dependent on your positions and opponent’s.
The Running Game Strategy
The aim of the Running Game technique is to bring all your pieces into your inner board and pull them off as quickly as you could. This tactic concentrates on the pace of moving your chips with no efforts to hit or stop your opponent’s checkers. The ideal scenario to use this plan is when you think you can shift your own chips quicker than your opponent does: when 1) you have a fewer pieces on the game board; 2) all your checkers have past your competitor’s chips; or 3) your opponent does not employ the hitting or blocking strategy.
The Blocking Game Technique
The primary goal of the blocking strategy, by its title, is to block the opponent’s pieces, temporarily, while not worrying about moving your chips quickly. As soon as you have established the barrier for the opponent’s movement with a couple of checkers, you can shift your other pieces quickly off the board. You really should also have a clear strategy when to extract and shift the chips that you used for the blockade. The game gets interesting when your opponent utilizes the same blocking tactic.
