The Basics of Backgammon Strategies – Part 1

[ English ]

The aim of a Backgammon match is to move your pieces around the Backgammon board and pull those pieces from the game board faster than your competitor who works harder to attempt the same buthowever they move in the opposite direction. Winning a game of Backgammon requires both tactics and good luck. Just how far you can move your chips is up to the numbers from rolling the dice, and just how you shift your checkers are decided on by your overall gambling tactics. Enthusiasts use differing plans in the differing parts of a game dependent on your positions and opponent’s.

The Running Game Technique

The aim of the Running Game technique is to bring all your pieces into your inner board and get them off as quick as you can. This strategy focuses on the pace of shifting your chips with absolutely no time spent to hit or block your opponent’s pieces. The ideal time to use this plan is when you think you can shift your own chips a lot faster than the opponent does: when 1) you have less checkers on the board; 2) all your pieces have moved beyond your competitor’s checkers; or 3) the opponent doesn’t use the hitting or blocking strategy.

The Blocking Game Tactic

The main aim of the blocking tactic, by the name, is to stop your competitor’s chips, temporarily, not fretting about shifting your chips quickly. As soon as you’ve established the blockage for the opponent’s movement with a couple of chips, you can move your other chips quickly off the game board. You should also have a good plan when to withdraw and move the chips that you used for the blockade. The game gets interesting when your competitor uses the same blocking strategy.
