The Basics of Backgammon Strategies – Part One
The aim of a Backgammon match is to move your checkers around the game board and get them off the board quicker than your competitor who works just as hard to achieve the same buthowever they move in the opposing direction. Succeeding in a game in Backgammon requires both tactics and luck. How far you can shift your pieces is up to the numbers from tossing the dice, and the way you move your chips are decided on by your overall playing plans. Players use different tactics in the differing stages of a game dependent on your positions and opponent’s.
The Running Game Technique
The goal of the Running Game strategy is to entice all your pieces into your inner board and pull them off as fast as you can. This technique focuses on the pace of moving your checkers with absolutely no efforts to hit or block your competitor’s pieces. The best scenario to employ this tactic is when you think you can move your own chips a lot faster than the opponent does: when 1) you have a fewer pieces on the board; 2) all your chips have moved beyond your competitor’s pieces; or 3) the opposing player doesn’t use the hitting or blocking technique.
The Blocking Game Plan
The primary aim of the blocking technique, by its name, is to block your opponent’s chips, temporarily, not fretting about moving your checkers quickly. Once you’ve created the blockage for your competitor’s movement with a couple of chips, you can shift your other pieces rapidly from the board. The player really should also have a clear plan when to extract and move the chips that you utilized for the blockade. The game gets interesting when the opposition utilizes the same blocking tactic.
