October 16th, 2017 Leave a comment Go to comments

The goal of a Backgammon match is to move your chips around the game board and bear 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 match in Backgammon requires both tactics and luck. Just how far you will be able to move your chips is left to the numbers from tossing the dice, and the way you shift your pieces are decided on by your overall gambling strategies. Players use different techniques in the differing parts of a game depending on your positions and opponent’s.

The Running Game Tactic

The aim of the Running Game tactic is to lure all your chips into your home board and bear them off as fast as you can. This technique focuses on the pace of shifting your chips with absolutely no efforts to hit or block your competitor’s pieces. The ideal time to employ this strategy is when you believe you can shift your own checkers a lot faster than the opponent does: when 1) you have a fewer pieces on the game board; 2) all your chips have past your opponent’s chips; or 3) the opposing player doesn’t use the hitting or blocking plan.

The Blocking Game Plan

The main aim of the blocking tactic, by its name, is to block the opponent’s pieces, temporarily, not worrying about shifting your pieces quickly. As soon as you have created the barrier for the competitor’s movement with a few checkers, you can move your other checkers rapidly off the board. You should also have an apparent strategy when to extract and move the pieces that you used for the blockade. The game gets intriguing when the opposition utilizes the same blocking technique.
