The Essential Basics of Backgammon Strategies – Part 1
The aim of a Backgammon match is to shift your checkers around the Backgammon board and pull those pieces from the game board faster than your opponent who works harder to achieve the same buthowever they move in the opposite direction. Winning a round of Backgammon requires both tactics and luck. How far you can move your chips is left to the numbers from tossing the dice, and how you shift your pieces are decided on by your overall playing techniques. Players use a few techniques in the differing stages of a match depending on your positions and opponent’s.
The Running Game Strategy
The goal of the Running Game tactic is to lure all your pieces into your inside board and bear them off as quickly as you could. This tactic focuses on the pace of moving your pieces with little or no time spent to hit or block your opponent’s chips. The best scenario to employ this strategy is when you think you might be able to shift your own chips quicker than the opposing player does: when 1) you have a fewer checkers on the game board; 2) all your pieces have moved beyond your opponent’s pieces; or 3) your opposing player doesn’t use the hitting or blocking strategy.
The Blocking Game Technique
The main aim of the blocking tactic, by the name, is to stop the opponent’s checkers, temporarily, while not worrying about moving your chips quickly. After you’ve established the barrier for your opponent’s movement with a few checkers, you can shift your other pieces swiftly from the game board. The player should also have a good strategy when to back off and shift the pieces that you employed for blocking. The game gets intriguing when your competitor uses the same blocking tactic.
