The Basics of Backgammon Strategies – Part One
The goal of a Backgammon match is to shift your pieces around the Backgammon board and get those pieces from the board faster than your competitor who works just as hard to achieve the same buthowever they move in the opposing direction. Winning a round of Backgammon requires both tactics and luck. How far you can shift your checkers is up to the numbers from rolling the dice, and just how you move your pieces are determined by your overall playing strategies. Players use different plans in the differing parts of a game based on your positions and opponent’s.
The Running Game Technique
The aim of the Running Game technique is to entice all your checkers into your inside board and bear them off as quick as you could. This tactic focuses on the speed of moving your pieces with little or no time spent to hit or stop your competitor’s chips. The best scenario to employ this plan is when you think you can move your own pieces a lot faster than the opposition does: when 1) you have a fewer pieces on the board; 2) all your checkers have past your competitor’s chips; or 3) the opposing player does not employ the hitting or blocking plan.
The Blocking Game Strategy
The primary goal of the blocking plan, by the name, is to block your opponent’s chips, temporarily, not fretting about shifting your chips quickly. As soon as you’ve created the barrier for the competitor’s movement with a couple of checkers, you can shift your other pieces quickly off the board. You should also have an apparent strategy when to extract and move the checkers that you employed for blocking. The game becomes interesting when your opposition uses the same blocking technique.
