The Basics of Backgammon Strategies – Part One

[ English ]

The objective of a Backgammon match is to move your checkers around the Backgammon board and get them from the game board quicker than your challenger who works just as hard to achieve the same buthowever they move in the opposite direction. Winning a match in Backgammon needsrequires both tactics and fortune. How far you will be able to shift your chips is left to the numbers from rolling the dice, and the way you move your pieces are decided on by your overall playing tactics. Players use a few techniques in the differing parts of a match based on your positions and opponent’s.

The Running Game Strategy

The aim of the Running Game tactic is to bring all your pieces into your inner board and bear them off as fast as you could. This strategy concentrates on the speed of moving your checkers with no time spent to hit or block your opponent’s pieces. The best time to employ this technique is when you believe you might be able to shift your own checkers faster than the opponent does: when 1) you have less checkers on the game board; 2) all your pieces have past your opponent’s pieces; or 3) your opposing player does not employ the hitting or blocking plan.

The Blocking Game Plan

The main goal of the blocking technique, by the name, is to stop your opponent’s chips, temporarily, while not worrying about shifting your chips rapidly. As soon as you’ve created the blockade for your competitor’s movement with a couple of checkers, you can shift your other checkers swiftly from the board. You really should also have a clear strategy when to back off and move the pieces that you utilized for blocking. The game gets interesting when your opposition uses the same blocking tactic.
