The Essential Facts of Backgammon Tactics – Part One

[ English ]

The objective of a Backgammon game is to shift your checkers around the Backgammon board and get them off the game board quicker than your challenger who works harder to achieve the same buthowever they move in the opposing direction. Winning a game in Backgammon requires both strategy and good luck. How far you will be able to move your pieces is left to the numbers from rolling a pair of dice, and how you move your checkers are decided on by your overall gambling strategies. Players use different techniques in the different stages of a match depending on your positions and opponent’s.

The Running Game Tactic

The aim of the Running Game strategy is to lure all your pieces into your home board and get them off as fast as you can. This technique concentrates on the speed of shifting your chips with little or no time spent to hit or block your opponent’s pieces. The best scenario to use this technique is when you think you might be able to move your own pieces a lot faster than your opponent does: when 1) you have less pieces on the game board; 2) all your chips have moved beyond your competitor’s chips; or 3) the opposing player does not employ the hitting or blocking tactic.

The Blocking Game Tactic

The main aim of the blocking plan, by its title, is to block the opponent’s pieces, temporarily, not fretting about moving your pieces quickly. After you have established the blockage for the opponent’s movement with a few pieces, you can move your other checkers rapidly off the game board. The player really should also have a clear plan when to back off and move the pieces that you used for blocking. The game gets interesting when the opposition uses the same blocking strategy.
