The Essential Basics of Backgammon Strategies – Part One

[ English ]

The goal of a Backgammon match is to move your checkers around the Backgammon board and get those pieces off the board faster than your challenger who works harder to attempt the same buthowever they move in the opposing direction. Winning a game in Backgammon requires both tactics and luck. How far you will be able to move your pieces is up to the numbers from tossing the dice, and how you move your chips are decided on by your overall gambling techniques. Players use different techniques in the differing stages of a game dependent on your positions and opponent’s.

The Running Game Technique

The aim of the Running Game technique is to lure all your pieces into your inside board and get them off as fast as you can. This technique focuses on the pace of moving your checkers with absolutely no time spent to hit or barricade your opponent’s checkers. The best scenario to use this technique is when you believe you can move your own checkers a lot faster than your opponent does: when 1) you have a fewer pieces on the board; 2) all your pieces have moved beyond your competitor’s checkers; or 3) the opposing player does not use the hitting or blocking tactic.

The Blocking Game Technique

The main aim of the blocking plan, by its title, is to block the competitor’s chips, temporarily, not worrying about shifting your pieces quickly. As soon as you’ve established the blockade for the competitor’s movement with a couple of pieces, you can move your other pieces rapidly from the game board. You should also have an apparent strategy when to extract and shift the checkers that you used for the blockade. The game gets interesting when your opponent uses the same blocking technique.
