The Basics of Backgammon Tactics – Part 1
The objective of a Backgammon game is to shift your chips around the Backgammon board and get them off the game board quicker than your opponent who works just as hard to achieve the same buthowever they move in the opposing direction. Succeeding in a game of Backgammon requires both tactics and good luck. Just how far you will be able to shift your checkers is left to the numbers from tossing a pair of dice, and the way you shift your chips are decided on by your overall playing strategies. Players use different tactics in the different parts of a game based on your positions and opponent’s.
The Running Game Strategy
The aim of the Running Game technique is to bring all your chips into your home board and pull them off as quickly as you could. This strategy concentrates on the pace of advancing your pieces with little or no efforts to hit or barricade your competitor’s chips. The best time to use this plan is when you believe you might be able to shift your own checkers a lot faster than your opposition does: when 1) you have a fewer chips on the board; 2) all your pieces have past your opponent’s checkers; or 3) the opposing player doesn’t employ the hitting or blocking strategy.
The Blocking Game Technique
The main aim of the blocking technique, by its name, is to block the competitor’s pieces, temporarily, while not worrying about shifting your chips quickly. Once you have established the barrier for your competitor’s movement with a couple of checkers, you can move your other pieces quickly from the board. You really should also have an apparent plan when to back off and move the checkers that you employed for the blockade. The game gets interesting when the opponent utilizes the same blocking strategy.
