The Basics of Backgammon Strategies – Part 1
The objective of a Backgammon match is to move your pieces around the Backgammon board and get those pieces from the game board quicker than your challenger who works just as hard to do the same buthowever they move in the opposite direction. Succeeding in a match in Backgammon requires both tactics and fortune. How far you will be able to shift your pieces is up to the numbers from rolling a pair of dice, and how you shift your pieces are decided on by your overall gambling techniques. Players use different strategies in the different parts of a game dependent on your positions and opponent’s.
The Running Game Strategy
The goal of the Running Game tactic is to bring all your checkers into your inside board and pull them off as quickly as you can. This technique focuses on the pace of moving your checkers with no efforts to hit or stop your opponent’s checkers. The ideal time to use this tactic is when you believe you might be able to move your own chips faster than your opponent does: when 1) you have less pieces on the board; 2) all your chips have past your opponent’s pieces; or 3) your opposing player does not employ the hitting or blocking strategy.
The Blocking Game Technique
The main goal of the blocking technique, by its title, is to block the competitor’s pieces, temporarily, while not worrying about shifting your chips rapidly. After you’ve created the blockade for the opponent’s movement with a few pieces, you can shift your other chips quickly off the game board. The player will need to also have a good plan when to extract and shift the chips that you used for blocking. The game becomes intriguing when the opposition uses the same blocking technique.
