The Basics of Backgammon Strategies – Part One

The aim of a Backgammon match is to shift your chips around the Backgammon board and pull them from the board faster than your opponent who works just as hard to do the same buthowever they move in the opposing direction. Succeeding in a round in Backgammon requires both strategy and good luck. Just how far you will be able to shift your chips is up to the numbers from rolling a pair of dice, and how you move your pieces are determined by your overall gambling tactics. Players use different plans in the differing stages of a game based on your positions and opponent’s.

The Running Game Tactic

The aim of the Running Game tactic is to entice all your chips into your home board and get them off as fast as you could. This technique concentrates on the speed of advancing your pieces with absolutely no efforts to hit or stop your opponent’s checkers. The ideal time to use this plan is when you believe you can move your own chips faster than the opposition 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 use the hitting or blocking strategy.

The Blocking Game Technique

The primary aim of the blocking plan, by its name, is to block your opponent’s chips, temporarily, not fretting about moving your pieces quickly. Once you’ve established the blockade for your competitor’s movement with a few chips, you can shift your other checkers swiftly off the board. The player will need to also have a good strategy when to extract and shift the pieces that you utilized for blocking. The game gets interesting when your opponent uses the same blocking strategy.
