The Basics of Backgammon Strategies – Part One
The objective of a Backgammon game is to shift 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 opposite direction. Succeeding in a round of Backgammon requires both tactics and luck. How far you will be able to shift your pieces is up to the numbers from rolling the dice, and just how you move your chips are determined by your overall playing techniques. Enthusiasts use different tactics in the different stages of a match based on your positions and opponent’s.
The Running Game Technique
The goal of the Running Game technique is to entice all your chips into your inner board and get them off as quickly as you could. This technique focuses on the pace of shifting your chips with no efforts to hit or barricade your opponent’s checkers. The best scenario to use this strategy is when you think you can move your own checkers a lot faster than your opponent does: when 1) you have less chips on the game board; 2) all your checkers have moved beyond your competitor’s checkers; or 3) the opposing player doesn’t employ the hitting or blocking technique.
The Blocking Game Technique
The primary goal of the blocking tactic, by the title, is to block the opponent’s checkers, temporarily, not fretting about shifting your checkers quickly. After you’ve established the barrier for your competitor’s movement with a couple of checkers, you can shift your other pieces rapidly from the board. The player will need to also have a clear strategy when to withdraw and shift the pieces that you used for blocking. The game becomes intriguing when your opposition uses the same blocking tactic.
