The Essential Facts of Backgammon Tactics – Part One
The aim of a Backgammon match is to move your checkers around the Backgammon board and get them off the game board faster than your challenger who works just as hard to do the same buthowever they move in the opposite direction. Winning a match in Backgammon requires both tactics and luck. Just how far you can shift your checkers is up to the numbers from rolling a pair of dice, and the way you shift your pieces are decided on by your overall playing techniques. Players use a few plans in the differing parts of a match depending on your positions and opponent’s.
The Running Game Strategy
The aim of the Running Game plan is to lure all your chips into your inner board and pull them off as quickly as you can. This strategy concentrates on the speed of shifting your chips with little or no efforts to hit or block your competitor’s pieces. The ideal time to employ this plan is when you believe you might be able to move your own checkers quicker than your opposition 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 doesn’t employ the hitting or blocking technique.
The Blocking Game Technique
The main goal of the blocking plan, by its name, is to stop the competitor’s pieces, temporarily, not worrying about shifting your chips quickly. As soon as you’ve created the blockage for the competitor’s movement with a couple of chips, you can move your other pieces quickly off the board. You will need to also have a clear plan when to withdraw and shift the chips that you used for the blockade. The game becomes interesting when the competitor utilizes the same blocking tactic.
