The Essential Details of Backgammon Strategies – Part One
Wednesday, 8. March 2017
The aim of a Backgammon match is to move your checkers around the Backgammon board and bear those pieces from the game board faster than your opponent who works harder to do the same buthowever they move in the opposing direction. Succeeding in a match in Backgammon requires both tactics and fortune. Just how far you will be able to shift your chips is up to the numbers from tossing a pair of dice, and just how you shift your pieces are decided on by your overall playing tactics. Players use a number of techniques in the differing parts of a match dependent on your positions and opponent’s.
The Running Game Strategy
The aim of the Running Game strategy is to entice all your chips into your inner board and bear them off as fast as you could. This technique concentrates on the speed of moving your checkers with little or no efforts to hit or barricade your opponent’s checkers. The ideal scenario to use this plan is when you think you can move your own checkers quicker than your opposition does: when 1) you have less chips on the board; 2) all your pieces have past your opponent’s chips; or 3) your opposing player does not use the hitting or blocking strategy.
The Blocking Game Technique
The main goal of the blocking technique, by the title, is to block the competitor’s checkers, temporarily, while not worrying about moving your checkers quickly. As soon as you’ve created the blockade for the competitor’s movement with a few chips, you can shift your other checkers rapidly off the game board. You should also have a good plan when to extract and move the chips that you employed for blocking. The game gets interesting when the competitor utilizes the same blocking tactic.
