The Basics of Backgammon Tactics – Part One
The aim of a Backgammon match is to shift your chips around the Backgammon board and get those pieces from the board quicker than your opposing player who works just as hard to attempt the same buthowever they move in the opposite direction. Winning a match in Backgammon requires both tactics and fortune. Just how far you can move your chips is left to the numbers from rolling a pair of dice, and how you shift your pieces are determined by your overall gambling techniques. Enthusiasts use a few strategies in the differing parts of a match dependent on your positions and opponent’s.
The Running Game Strategy
The goal of the Running Game tactic is to bring all your pieces into your inside board and pull them off as fast as you could. This plan focuses on the pace of advancing your checkers with absolutely no time spent to hit or barricade your competitor’s pieces. The ideal time to use this plan is when you think you might be able to move your own chips a lot faster than your opposition does: when 1) you have a fewer pieces on the board; 2) all your chips have past your competitor’s checkers; or 3) your opponent does not use the hitting or blocking strategy.
The Blocking Game Strategy
The primary aim of the blocking tactic, by the name, is to stop your competitor’s chips, temporarily, not fretting about moving your chips quickly. Once you’ve established the blockage for the opponent’s movement with a couple of pieces, you can move your other pieces quickly from the game board. The player will need to also have a clear plan when to withdraw and move the chips that you used for blocking. The game gets interesting when the opponent utilizes the same blocking strategy.
