Enthusiasts use a few plans in the different parts of a game dependent on your positions and opponent’s.

The Running Game Plan

The goal of the Running Game plan is to lure all your pieces into your inside board and get them off as fast as you can. This plan focuses on the speed of advancing your pieces with little or no efforts to hit or barricade your opponent’s checkers. The best scenario to employ this technique is when you believe you might be able to move your own checkers faster than the opponent does: when 1) you have a fewer pieces on the game board; 2) all your pieces have moved beyond your competitor’s chips; or 3) the opposing player does not employ the hitting or blocking strategy.

The Blocking Game Plan

After you’ve established the barrier for the opponent’s movement with a few pieces, you can move your other checkers quickly off the game board. The player really should also have an apparent plan when to withdraw and move the pieces that you used for blocking. The game gets interesting when your competitor utilizes the same blocking tactic.

As we have dicussed in the previous article, Backgammon is a game of skill and pure luck. The goal is to move your pieces safely around the board to your inside board while at the same time your opponent shifts their chips toward their inner board in the opposing direction. With competing player checkers heading in opposing directions there is going to be conflict and the need for particular tactics at particular times. Here are the last two Backgammon techniques to round out your game.

The Priming Game Tactic

If the aim of the blocking plan is to hamper the opponents ability to shift his pieces, the Priming Game strategy is to absolutely stop any activity of the opposing player by building a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The opponent’s pieces will either get bumped, or end up in a battered position if he at all tries to leave the wall. The ambush of the prime can be built anywhere between point two and point 11 in your board. After you have successfully constructed the prime to stop the movement of the opponent, the competitor does not even get a chance to roll the dice, that means you move your chips and toss the dice again. You will be a winner for sure.

The Back Game Technique

The objectives of the Back Game tactic and the Blocking Game plan are similar – to harm your opponent’s positions hoping to better your odds of succeeding, however the Back Game strategy utilizes seperate tactics to achieve that. The Back Game plan is commonly used when you’re far behind your competitor. To compete in Backgammon with this technique, you need to control 2 or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This tactic is more challenging than others to employ in Backgammon seeing as it needs careful movement of your pieces and how the pieces are moved is partly the result of the dice toss.

Backgammon – Three General Strategies

Posted in Backgammon on 08/04/2024 01:25 pm by Madisyn

In exceptionally simple terms, there are 3 fundamental strategies employed. You need to be agile enough to switch game plans quickly as the course of the game unfolds.

The Blockade

This is comprised of assembling a 6-thick wall of checkers, or at least as thick as you can achieve, to block in the opponent’s checkers that are located on your 1-point. This is judged to be the most suitable course of action at the start of the game. You can assemble the wall anyplace inbetween your eleven-point and your two-point and then shift it into your home board as the match progresses.

The Blitz

This is composed of locking your home board as fast as possible while keeping your challenger on the bar. i.e., if your challenger rolls an early two and shifts one checker from your 1-point to your 3-point and you then toss a 5-5, you will be able to play six/one six/one eight/three eight/three. Your opposer is now in serious trouble seeing that they have 2 pieces on the bar and you have closed half your home board!

The Backgame

This course of action is where you have two or more pieces in your competitor’s home board. (An anchor spot is a position consisting of at a minimum 2 of your checkers.) It would be employed when you are extremely behind as it greatly improves your opportunities. The better locations for anchors are close to your opponent’s lower points and also on adjacent points or with a single point separating them. Timing is important for an effectual backgame: after all, there is no reason having two nice anchor spots and a complete wall in your own home board if you are then required to break down this straight away, while your opponent is getting their checkers home, because you don’t have other spare pieces to shift! In this situation, it’s more tolerable to have pieces on the bar so that you might maintain your position until your competitor gives you a chance to hit, so it can be an excellent idea to try and get your challenger to hit them in this situation!
