The Essential Facts of Backgammon Strategies – Part 1
The objective of a Backgammon game is to move your pieces around the game board and get them off the game board faster than your competitor who works harder to achieve the same buthowever they move in the opposing direction. Succeeding in a game in Backgammon requires both strategy and good luck. How far you can move your pieces is left to the numbers from tossing a pair of dice, and the way you move your chips are decided on by your overall playing strategies. Players use different strategies in the different parts of a game depending on your positions and opponent’s.
The Running Game Tactic
The goal of the Running Game plan is to bring all your chips into your inner board and get them off as quick as you can. This tactic concentrates on the speed of moving your checkers with no efforts to hit or block your opponent’s checkers. The best scenario to employ this technique is when you believe you can shift your own chips faster than your opponent does: when 1) you have less checkers on the board; 2) all your chips have past your competitor’s pieces; or 3) your opposing player doesn’t employ the hitting or blocking strategy.
The Blocking Game Plan
The primary goal of the blocking plan, by the name, is to block your opponent’s chips, temporarily, while not worrying about shifting your chips rapidly. Once you’ve established the barrier for your opponent’s movement with a couple of checkers, you can move your other checkers quickly off the game board. The player should also have an apparent plan when to withdraw and move the checkers that you employed for blocking. The game becomes intriguing when the opponent uses the same blocking tactic.
