The Essential Facts of Backgammon Strategies – Part One

[ English ]

The aim of a Backgammon match is to move your checkers around the Backgammon board and get those pieces from the board quicker than your opponent who works harder to achieve the same buthowever they move in the opposite direction. Succeeding in a match of Backgammon needsrequires both tactics and fortune. Just how far you can shift your checkers is left to the numbers from tossing a pair of dice, and how you move your chips are decided on by your overall playing techniques. Players use different plans in the differing stages of a match depending on your positions and opponent’s.

The Running Game Technique

The aim of the Running Game strategy is to entice all your pieces into your inside board and bear them off as quickly as you can. This technique concentrates on the speed of moving your chips with no efforts to hit or barricade your opponent’s chips. The best scenario to use this plan is when you think you might be able to move your own checkers faster than your opposition does: when 1) you have less chips on the game board; 2) all your checkers have past your opponent’s checkers; or 3) the opposing player does not use the hitting or blocking strategy.

The Blocking Game Strategy

The primary aim of the blocking tactic, by its name, is to block the opponent’s pieces, temporarily, not fretting about shifting your chips quickly. Once you have established the blockade for the competitor’s movement with a few chips, you can shift your other checkers rapidly off the game board. You will need to also have a good strategy when to back off and move the chips that you employed for blocking. The game becomes intriguing when your competitor uses the same blocking tactic.
