The Essential Basics of Backgammon Tactics – Part One
The goal of a Backgammon game is to shift your chips around the game board and bear them from the game board faster than your opposing player who works just as hard to do the same buthowever they move in the opposite direction. Succeeding in a game of Backgammon requires both strategy and good luck. How far you can move your checkers is left to the numbers from tossing the dice, and how you shift your pieces are decided on by your overall playing techniques. Enthusiasts use different tactics in the differing parts of a game based on your positions and opponent’s.
The Running Game Tactic
The goal of the Running Game plan is to entice all your pieces into your home board and pull them off as fast as you could. This strategy focuses on the speed of moving your pieces with little or no efforts to hit or block your competitor’s chips. The best scenario to employ this plan is when you think you might be able to shift your own checkers a lot faster than your opposition does: when 1) you have less checkers on the board; 2) all your chips have past your opponent’s checkers; or 3) the opponent doesn’t employ the hitting or blocking tactic.
The Blocking Game Tactic
The primary aim of the blocking plan, by the title, is to block the opponent’s chips, temporarily, not worrying about shifting your pieces quickly. After you have created the blockage for the competitor’s movement with a couple of pieces, you can move your other pieces rapidly from the game board. The player should also have a good strategy when to extract and shift the checkers that you used for the blockade. The game gets intriguing when the opponent utilizes the same blocking technique.
