The Essential Basics of Backgammon Strategies – Part 1
The objective of a Backgammon game is to shift your pieces around the game board and pull them from the game board quicker than your opposing player who works just as hard to achieve the same buthowever they move in the opposite direction. Winning a game in Backgammon requires both tactics and luck. How far you will be able to shift your pieces is up to the numbers from tossing the dice, and the way you shift your pieces are determined by your overall playing techniques. Players use a number of tactics in the different stages of a match dependent on your positions and opponent’s.
The Running Game Tactic
The aim of the Running Game tactic is to bring all your chips into your inside board and get them off as quickly as you can. This plan focuses on the speed of shifting your chips with absolutely no efforts to hit or block your competitor’s pieces. The ideal scenario to use this strategy is when you believe you can move your own checkers faster than your opponent does: when 1) you have less checkers on the board; 2) all your pieces have moved beyond your opponent’s checkers; or 3) your opponent does not use the hitting or blocking strategy.
The Blocking Game Tactic
The main goal of the blocking technique, by its name, is to stop your competitor’s chips, temporarily, not worrying about shifting your checkers quickly. As soon as you have established the blockade for the opponent’s movement with a couple of checkers, you can move your other chips quickly from the game board. The player should also have an apparent plan when to withdraw and shift the checkers that you utilized for blocking. The game becomes intriguing when the competitor uses the same blocking strategy.
