Posted in Backgammon on 01/01/2016 04:21 pm by MadisynThe goal of a Backgammon game is to move your checkers around the Backgammon board and bear them from the board faster than your competitor who works harder to do the same buthowever they move in the opposing direction. Winning a game in Backgammon needsrequires both tactics and luck. Just how far you will be able to move your chips is up to the numbers from tossing the dice, and just how you move your checkers are determined by your overall playing strategies. Enthusiasts use different techniques in the differing stages of a match depending on your positions and opponent’s.
The Running Game Technique
The goal of the Running Game technique is to lure all your pieces into your inside board and get them off as fast as you could. This plan concentrates on the speed of shifting your pieces with little or no efforts to hit or barricade your competitor’s chips. The ideal scenario to use this plan is when you believe you can shift your own pieces quicker than the opposition does: when 1) you have a fewer chips on the game board; 2) all your pieces have moved beyond your competitor’s pieces; or 3) your opposing player does not use the hitting or blocking plan.
The Blocking Game Strategy
The main goal of the blocking tactic, by its title, is to block the opponent’s pieces, temporarily, while not worrying about shifting your pieces rapidly. As soon as you have established the blockage for your opponent’s movement with a couple of checkers, you can move your other pieces rapidly from the board. You should also have a good strategy when to extract and shift the chips that you utilized for the blockade. The game becomes interesting when your competitor uses the same blocking technique.
