The Basics of Backgammon Strategies – Part One

The aim of a Backgammon match is to shift your pieces around the game 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. Winning a match in Backgammon requires both strategy and fortune. How far you can shift your checkers is up to the numbers from tossing the dice, and the way you move your checkers are decided on by your overall playing techniques. Enthusiasts use different tactics in the differing parts of a game based on your positions and opponent’s.

The Running Game Tactic

The goal of the Running Game technique is to entice all your pieces into your inside board and pull them off as fast as you could. This strategy concentrates on the speed of shifting your pieces with no efforts to hit or barricade your competitor’s pieces. The best time to use this strategy is when you think you can move your own checkers a lot faster than the opponent does: when 1) you have a fewer pieces 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 plan.

The Blocking Game Strategy

The main goal of the blocking tactic, by its title, is to block your opponent’s chips, temporarily, while not fretting about moving your chips quickly. As soon as you’ve created the barrier for your opponent’s movement with a few pieces, you can shift your other chips quickly from the board. You will need to also have an apparent plan when to extract and move the checkers that you employed for the blockade. The game becomes intriguing when the competitor uses the same blocking strategy.
