The Basics of Backgammon Strategies – Part 1
The objective of a Backgammon game is to move your checkers around the game board and bear those pieces from the board faster than your opposing player who works harder to do the same buthowever they move in the opposite direction. Succeeding in a game of Backgammon requires both strategy and good luck. Just how far you can move your pieces is left to the numbers from tossing a pair of dice, and the way you move your checkers are determined by your overall playing plans. Players use a number of tactics 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 bring all your chips into your inside board and get them off as quickly as you could. This tactic focuses on the speed of advancing your chips with absolutely no time spent to hit or block your opponent’s pieces. The ideal scenario to employ this tactic is when you think you can move your own checkers faster than your opposing player does: when 1) you have a fewer pieces on the game board; 2) all your chips have moved beyond your opponent’s checkers; or 3) your opponent does not use the hitting or blocking strategy.
The Blocking Game Plan
The main goal of the blocking plan, by its name, is to block the opponent’s checkers, temporarily, not fretting about moving your chips quickly. After you’ve established the blockade for the competitor’s movement with a couple of chips, you can move your other chips quickly from the board. You should also have a clear plan when to extract and move the pieces that you used for blocking. The game becomes interesting when the competitor uses the same blocking strategy.
