Monday, 25. April 2016
The goal of a Backgammon match is to move your chips around the Backgammon board and get them from the board faster than your opposing player who works harder to do the same buthowever they move in the opposing direction. Succeeding in a round of Backgammon needsrequires both tactics and fortune. How far you will be able to shift your checkers is up to the numbers from rolling a pair of dice, and how you shift your pieces are decided on by your overall playing plans. Enthusiasts use a number of techniques in the differing stages of a match depending on your positions and opponent’s.
The Running Game Technique
The goal of the Running Game technique is to bring all your checkers into your home board and get them off as quickly as you could. This strategy focuses on the speed of advancing your checkers with no efforts to hit or barricade your opponent’s chips. The ideal scenario to employ this strategy is when you think you might be able to shift your own pieces faster than the opposing player does: when 1) you have less pieces on the board; 2) all your checkers have moved beyond your competitor’s chips; or 3) the opponent does not employ the hitting or blocking strategy.
The Blocking Game Plan
The main goal of the blocking plan, by the title, is to stop your competitor’s chips, temporarily, not worrying about shifting your chips quickly. As soon as you have created the blockage for your competitor’s movement with a couple of chips, you can move your other chips rapidly off the game board. The player really should also have an apparent strategy when to withdraw and shift the checkers that you employed for the blockade. The game gets intriguing when the opponent utilizes the same blocking technique.
