The Basics of Backgammon Strategies – Part 1

[ English ]

The aim of a Backgammon match is to shift your pieces around the game board and pull them from the game board faster than your competitor who works harder to achieve the same buthowever they move in the opposing direction. Succeeding in a round of Backgammon requires both tactics and fortune. How far you will be able to move your checkers is left to the numbers from tossing the dice, and how you move your chips are decided on by your overall gambling tactics. Players use differing tactics in the differing stages of a game based on your positions and opponent’s.

The Running Game Strategy

The aim of the Running Game plan is to lure all your checkers into your home board and get them off as fast as you can. This tactic concentrates on the speed of advancing your checkers with little or no time spent to hit or stop your competitor’s checkers. The ideal time to use this plan is when you think you can move your own checkers faster than your opposition does: when 1) you have a fewer chips on the board; 2) all your pieces have moved beyond your opponent’s pieces; or 3) your opposing player does not employ the hitting or blocking strategy.

The Blocking Game Tactic

The primary goal of the blocking tactic, by the title, is to stop the opponent’s chips, temporarily, while not fretting about shifting your checkers rapidly. As soon as you’ve established the blockade for your opponent’s movement with a few checkers, you can move your other pieces rapidly off the board. You should also have a good strategy when to back off and move the checkers that you utilized for the blockade. The game becomes intriguing when the competitor uses the same blocking tactic.
