The Essential Basics of Backgammon Strategies – Part One
The aim of a Backgammon game is to shift your chips around the game board and get them from the board faster than your opponent who works just as hard to do the same buthowever they move in the opposite direction. Succeeding in a match in Backgammon requires both strategy and good luck. Just how far you will be able to move your chips is up to the numbers from rolling the dice, and how you move your pieces are decided on by your overall gambling strategies. Enthusiasts use a number of plans in the differing stages of a match depending on your positions and opponent’s.
The Running Game Strategy
The aim of the Running Game tactic is to entice all your chips into your inner board and get them off as quickly as you can. This technique concentrates on the speed of moving your chips with little or no time spent to hit or block your opponent’s chips. The best scenario to use this plan is when you believe you can move your own chips a lot faster than the opposition does: when 1) you have less pieces on the board; 2) all your checkers have past your competitor’s pieces; or 3) the opponent does not employ the hitting or blocking tactic.
The Blocking Game Strategy
The primary goal of the blocking strategy, by its title, is to stop your opponent’s checkers, temporarily, while not fretting about shifting your chips quickly. Once you’ve established the barrier for the competitor’s movement with a couple of pieces, you can move your other chips rapidly from the board. The player will need to also have a clear strategy when to withdraw and shift the checkers that you used for the blockade. The game gets interesting when the opponent uses the same blocking strategy.
