The Basics of Backgammon Strategies – Part One
March 14th, 2020 by Kaitlynn

The aim of a Backgammon game is to move your checkers around the Backgammon board and bear them from the game board quicker than your opponent who works harder to achieve the same buthowever they move in the opposite direction. Succeeding in a match in Backgammon needsrequires both strategy and fortune. How far you will be able to move your checkers is up to the numbers from rolling the dice, and how you shift your pieces are decided on by your overall playing tactics. Players use different techniques in the differing parts of a game based on your positions and opponent’s.

The Running Game Plan

The aim of the Running Game technique is to bring all your chips into your inner board and bear them off as fast as you could. This technique focuses on the pace of moving your checkers with absolutely no time spent to hit or stop your competitor’s checkers. The best scenario to employ this tactic is when you believe you can move your own chips quicker than your opposition does: when 1) you have a fewer pieces on the game board; 2) all your pieces have moved beyond your opponent’s pieces; or 3) your opponent does not use the hitting or blocking technique.

The Blocking Game Strategy

The primary aim of the blocking strategy, by its name, is to block your opponent’s pieces, temporarily, while not fretting about moving your pieces rapidly. As soon as you have created the blockage for your opponent’s movement with a couple of checkers, you can shift your other chips rapidly off the board. You should also have a good strategy when to extract and shift the chips that you employed for the blockade. The game gets interesting when your competitor uses the same blocking tactic.
