The Basics of Backgammon Tactics – Part One
The goal of a Backgammon match is to shift your checkers around the game board and bear those pieces off the game board quicker than your opponent who works harder to do the same buthowever they move in the opposite direction. Succeeding in a game in Backgammon requires both strategy and good luck. Just how far you will be able to move your chips is left to the numbers from rolling the dice, and the way you shift your pieces are determined by your overall playing strategies. Players use a number of techniques in the different stages of a game depending on your positions and opponent’s.
The Running Game Technique
The aim of the Running Game plan is to lure all your pieces into your home board and pull them off as quickly as you can. This plan focuses on the pace of advancing your pieces with absolutely no time spent to hit or block your opponent’s pieces. The ideal time to employ this plan is when you believe you might be able to move your own pieces faster than the opposing player does: when 1) you have less checkers 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 technique.
The Blocking Game Strategy
The primary aim of the blocking tactic, by the name, is to stop the opponent’s pieces, temporarily, not worrying about shifting your pieces rapidly. After you’ve created the barrier for the competitor’s movement with a couple of pieces, you can shift your other checkers swiftly from the board. The player really should also have a good strategy when to back off and shift the chips that you employed for blocking. The game becomes interesting when your opponent uses the same blocking strategy.
