The Essential Facts of Backgammon Strategies – Part One
The goal of a Backgammon match is to move your pieces around the Backgammon board and pull those pieces from the game board faster than your opponent 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 move your chips is left to the numbers from rolling a pair of dice, and the way you move your checkers are determined by your overall playing strategies. Players use differing tactics in the differing stages of a game dependent on your positions and opponent’s.
The Running Game Strategy
The goal of the Running Game tactic is to entice all your checkers into your home board and pull them off as quickly as you could. This strategy focuses on the speed of shifting your pieces with no time spent to hit or block your competitor’s pieces. The best scenario to employ this plan is when you believe you can move your own checkers faster than your opposition does: when 1) you have a fewer checkers on the board; 2) all your chips have moved beyond your competitor’s chips; or 3) your opposing player doesn’t use the hitting or blocking plan.
The Blocking Game Plan
The main aim of the blocking strategy, by its title, is to block your competitor’s pieces, temporarily, not worrying about moving your chips rapidly. As soon as you’ve created the blockage for the competitor’s movement with a few checkers, you can shift your other checkers swiftly from the game board. You will need to also have a clear plan when to withdraw and move the pieces that you employed for blocking. The game gets interesting when the competitor uses the same blocking tactic.
