Posted by Nicolas in Backgammon on April 28, 2024
The objective of a Backgammon match is to move your checkers around the Backgammon board and bear them off the board quicker than your opponent who works just as hard to do the same buthowever they move in the opposite direction. Winning a match in Backgammon requires both tactics and luck. Just how far you can move your checkers is left to the numbers from tossing the dice, and the way you shift your pieces are determined by your overall gambling strategies. Enthusiasts use different tactics in the differing stages of a game depending on your positions and opponent’s.
The Running Game Technique
The goal of the Running Game strategy is to lure all your chips into your inside board and get them off as fast as you could. This strategy concentrates on the speed of moving your checkers with absolutely no time spent to hit or barricade your opponent’s chips. The ideal scenario to use this plan is when you think you might be able to shift your own pieces quicker than your opposing player does: when 1) you have less chips on the game board; 2) all your checkers have moved beyond your competitor’s checkers; or 3) your opponent doesn’t employ the hitting or blocking plan.
The Blocking Game Tactic
The primary aim of the blocking tactic, by its name, is to block your competitor’s chips, temporarily, while not fretting about shifting your pieces rapidly. Once you’ve established the blockade for your competitor’s movement with a couple of chips, you can move your other checkers swiftly off the game board. The player should also have a good strategy when to extract and move the pieces that you utilized for blocking. The game gets interesting when the opposition uses the same blocking strategy.
Backgammon – 3 Main Plans

In extraordinarily simple terms, there are three chief plans 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 pieces, or at a minimum as thick as you might manage, to barricade in the competitor’s pieces that are located on your 1-point. This is judged to be the most adequate strategy at the start of the match. You can create the wall anyplace between your eleven-point and your two-point and then shift it into your home board as the match continues.
The Blitz
This involves closing your home board as fast as possible while keeping your opponent on the bar. For example, if your competitor rolls an early two and shifts one piece from your one-point to your 3-point and you then toss a 5-5, you can play six/one 6/1 eight/three eight/three. Your challenger is then in serious calamity seeing that they have 2 pieces on the bar and you have closed half your inner board!
The Backgame
This tactic is where you have two or more checkers in your competitor’s home board. (An anchor spot is a point consisting of at a minimum 2 of your checkers.) It would be employed when you are decidedly behind as this strategy much improves your circumstances. The better locations for anchor spots are near your opponent’s smaller points and also on abutting points or with one point in between. Timing is essential for an effectual backgame: after all, there’s no point having two nice anchors and a solid wall in your own home board if you are then forced to break up this straight away, while your opponent is getting their checkers home, seeing that you don’t have any other extra checkers to move! In this case, it is more favorable to have checkers on the bar so that you might preserve your position up till your opposer gives you an opportunity to hit, so it will be a great idea to try and get your opponent to get them in this case!
