Posted in Backgammon on 05/04/2016 02:21 pm by ZaireThe aim of a Backgammon match is to move your chips around the game board and pull those pieces from the board quicker than your opposing player who works harder to do the same buthowever they move in the opposing direction. Succeeding in a game in Backgammon needsrequires both tactics and luck. Just how far you will be able to shift your checkers is up to the numbers from tossing the dice, and how you shift your checkers are decided on by your overall playing tactics. Players use a few techniques in the different parts of a game dependent on your positions and opponent’s.
The Running Game Technique
The goal of the Running Game tactic is to entice all your chips into your inside board and get them off as fast as you can. This tactic focuses on the pace of shifting your chips with little or no time spent to hit or stop your competitor’s chips. The ideal time to employ this strategy is when you believe you can move your own chips quicker than the opponent does: when 1) you have less chips on the board; 2) all your checkers have past your opponent’s chips; or 3) your opponent doesn’t use the hitting or blocking technique.
The Blocking Game Plan
The primary aim of the blocking plan, by its title, is to stop your opponent’s pieces, temporarily, while not worrying about shifting your chips quickly. Once you’ve created the blockage for the competitor’s movement with a few chips, you can move your other pieces quickly off the board. You really should also have a clear strategy when to back off and move the checkers that you used for the blockade. The game becomes interesting when your opposition uses the same blocking strategy.
