The Basics of Backgammon Strategies – Part One
The goal of a Backgammon game is to shift your pieces around the game board and pull those pieces from the board faster than your opposing player who works harder to do the same buthowever they move in the opposing direction. Winning a game in Backgammon requires both strategy and luck. How far you will be able to shift your chips is up to the numbers from tossing a pair of dice, and how you shift your chips are determined by your overall playing plans. Players use differing techniques in the different stages of a match depending on your positions and opponent’s.
The Running Game Tactic
The aim of the Running Game tactic is to lure all your pieces into your inner board and get them off as fast as you could. This strategy focuses on the speed of shifting your checkers with absolutely no time spent to hit or barricade your opponent’s chips. The best scenario to use this technique is when you think you can shift your own chips faster than the opposing player does: when 1) you have less pieces on the board; 2) all your pieces have past your opponent’s checkers; or 3) the opposing player doesn’t employ the hitting or blocking strategy.
The Blocking Game Technique
The primary goal of the blocking plan, by its name, is to stop your competitor’s chips, temporarily, not fretting about shifting your checkers quickly. Once you have created the blockage for your competitor’s movement with a few chips, you can move your other chips quickly from the board. The player should also have a clear strategy when to withdraw and move the pieces that you utilized for the blockade. The game gets intriguing when the competitor uses the same blocking strategy.
