The Essential Basics of Backgammon Tactics – Part One
The goal of a Backgammon game is to shift your checkers around the Backgammon board and get those pieces off the board quicker than your opposing player who works just as hard to attempt 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 pieces is left to the numbers from rolling the dice, and how you shift your chips are decided on by your overall gambling strategies. Players use a few strategies in the different parts of a game depending on your positions and opponent’s.
The Running Game Plan
The aim of the Running Game plan is to bring all your checkers into your home board and bear them off as fast as you could. This plan concentrates on the speed of advancing your pieces with absolutely no efforts to hit or barricade your competitor’s chips. The best scenario to employ this tactic is when you think you might be able to move your own checkers a lot faster than the opponent does: when 1) you have less checkers on the game board; 2) all your pieces have moved beyond your opponent’s checkers; or 3) the opponent does not use the hitting or blocking technique.
The Blocking Game Tactic
The main goal of the blocking strategy, by its name, is to block the competitor’s checkers, temporarily, while not fretting about moving your checkers quickly. Once you have created the barrier for your competitor’s movement with a few checkers, you can move your other checkers quickly off the board. The player will need to also have a clear plan when to extract and move the chips that you employed for blocking. The game becomes intriguing when your opponent utilizes the same blocking technique.
