The Essential Basics of Backgammon Strategies – Part One
Sunday, 21. April 2024
The goal of a Backgammon match is to shift your pieces around the game board and get them off the board faster than your opponent who works just as hard to achieve the same buthowever they move in the opposing direction. Winning a round of Backgammon requires both strategy and good luck. How far you can move your chips is up to the numbers from rolling the dice, and the way you move your checkers are decided on by your overall gambling tactics. Players use differing techniques in the different parts of a match depending on your positions and opponent’s.
The Running Game Plan
The aim of the Running Game plan is to bring all your pieces into your inner board and pull them off as quickly as you could. This plan focuses on the speed of shifting your pieces with little or no time spent to hit or block your competitor’s pieces. The ideal scenario to employ this tactic is when you think you might be able to move your own checkers quicker than your opposing player does: when 1) you have less chips on the game board; 2) all your pieces have past your opponent’s chips; or 3) your opposing player does not use the hitting or blocking technique.
The Blocking Game Technique
The primary aim of the blocking technique, by its title, is to stop your opponent’s chips, temporarily, while not fretting about moving your pieces quickly. After you’ve created the barrier for the opponent’s movement with a couple of pieces, you can move your other chips quickly off the board. You really should also have a clear strategy when to back off and move the checkers that you used for blocking. The game gets interesting when the competitor uses the same blocking technique.
