The Essential Facts of Backgammon Strategies – Part One

January 26th, 2018 Leave a comment Go to comments

The aim of a Backgammon game is to shift your checkers around the Backgammon board and pull those pieces off the game board quicker than your challenger who works just as hard to do the same buthowever they move in the opposing direction. Winning a match of Backgammon requires both strategy and luck. How far you will be able to shift your pieces is left to the numbers from rolling a pair of dice, and how you move your chips are decided on by your overall gambling plans. Players use a number of tactics in the differing parts of a game depending on your positions and opponent’s.

The Running Game Strategy

The goal of the Running Game technique is to lure all your chips into your inner board and bear them off as quickly as you could. This technique focuses on the speed of moving your checkers with no time spent to hit or stop your opponent’s chips. The best scenario to use this strategy is when you think you might be able to move your own chips quicker than the opposing player does: when 1) you have a fewer chips on the game board; 2) all your pieces have moved beyond your competitor’s checkers; or 3) the opponent does not use the hitting or blocking strategy.

The Blocking Game Tactic

The main aim of the blocking plan, by its name, is to stop your opponent’s chips, temporarily, not fretting about moving your pieces rapidly. As soon as you have established the blockade for the competitor’s movement with a couple of chips, you can move your other pieces rapidly from the game board. You really should also have a good plan when to extract and move the checkers that you employed for the blockade. The game becomes interesting when your opposition uses the same blocking tactic.
