The Essential Basics of Backgammon Tactics – Part 1
The objective of a Backgammon game is to move your checkers around the Backgammon board and pull those pieces off the game board quicker than your challenger who works just as hard to attempt the same buthowever they move in the opposing direction. Succeeding in a match in Backgammon requires both strategy and good luck. Just how far you will be able to move your chips is left to the numbers from rolling the dice, and just how you move your checkers are decided on by your overall gambling strategies. Players use different techniques in the different parts of a match depending on your positions and opponent’s.
The Running Game Strategy
The aim of the Running Game technique is to entice all your chips into your inside board and pull them off as quick as you could. This technique concentrates on the pace of shifting your chips with little or no efforts to hit or stop your competitor’s checkers. The ideal scenario to use this technique is when you think you might be able to shift your own pieces faster than your opposition does: when 1) you have a fewer pieces on the board; 2) all your checkers have past your opponent’s pieces; or 3) the opponent doesn’t use the hitting or blocking technique.
The Blocking Game Technique
The primary aim of the blocking technique, by the title, is to stop your opponent’s checkers, temporarily, not worrying about moving your checkers quickly. Once you have established the blockade for your opponent’s movement with a few chips, you can shift your other pieces rapidly from the game board. You will need to also have a clear strategy when to back off and shift the chips that you employed for the blockade. The game becomes interesting when the opposition utilizes the same blocking tactic.
