The Basics of Backgammon Strategies – Part One
May 2nd, 2024 by Kaitlynn

The goal of a Backgammon game is to shift your checkers around the game board and get those pieces from the game board faster than your opponent who works harder to do the same buthowever they move in the opposing direction. Succeeding in a match of Backgammon needsrequires both strategy and luck. Just how far you can shift your checkers is left to the numbers from rolling a pair of dice, and the way you shift your checkers are determined by your overall gambling strategies. Players use a few tactics in the differing parts of a game based on your positions and opponent’s.

The Running Game Strategy

The goal of the Running Game tactic is to lure all your chips into your inner board and pull them off as quickly as you could. This plan focuses on the pace of moving your chips with absolutely no time spent to hit or stop your opponent’s checkers. The ideal scenario to employ this plan is when you think you can shift your own chips faster than the opposition does: when 1) you have a fewer chips on the board; 2) all your chips have past your competitor’s chips; or 3) your opponent does not employ the hitting or blocking strategy.

The Blocking Game Tactic

The primary aim of the blocking strategy, by the title, is to stop your opponent’s pieces, temporarily, not fretting about shifting your chips rapidly. As soon as you’ve established the blockade for the opponent’s movement with a couple of pieces, you can move your other checkers swiftly from the board. You should also have a clear strategy when to back off and shift the chips that you used for blocking. The game becomes intriguing when the competitor uses the same blocking strategy.
