Backgammon – Three Main Strategies

by Karla on Monday, June 27th, 2022

In exceptionally simple terms, there are 3 fundamental plans employed. You must be agile enough to hop between strategies quickly as the action of the game unfolds.

The Blockade

This is comprised of building a 6-thick wall of checkers, or at least as thick as you might achieve, to lock in the opponent’s checkers that are located on your 1-point. This is judged to be the most acceptable course of action at the start of the match. You can assemble the wall anyplace between your 11-point and your 2-point and then move it into your home board as the game advances.

The Blitz

This consists of closing your home board as quickly as as you can while keeping your challenger on the bar. For example, if your challenger rolls an early 2 and moves one checker from your one-point to your 3-point and you then roll a 5-5, you can play 6/1 six/one 8/3 eight/three. Your competitor is now in big-time trouble since they have 2 pieces on the bar and you have closed half your inner board!

The Backgame

This strategy is where you have two or higher anchors in your opponent’s inner board. (An anchor spot is a point consisting of at a minimum two of your pieces.) It must be played when you are extremely behind as it much improves your opportunities. The best areas for anchor spots are towards your competitor’s smaller points and also on adjacent points or with a single point in between. Timing is integral for an effectual backgame: besides, there is no point having 2 nice anchors and a solid wall in your own inner board if you are then required to break up this right away, while your competitor is getting their pieces home, taking into account that you do not have any other extra checkers to shift! In this situation, it is better to have pieces on the bar so that you might maintain your position up till your opposer provides you a chance to hit, so it can be a good idea to try and get your competitor to get them in this situation!

The Essential Basics of Backgammon Tactics – Part 1

The objective of a Backgammon game is to move your checkers around the game board and pull those pieces from the board quicker than your opposing player who works just as hard to achieve the same buthowever they move in the opposite direction. Succeeding in a round of Backgammon needsrequires both strategy and luck. How far you can move your chips is up to the numbers from rolling the dice, and how you shift your pieces are decided on by your overall gambling tactics. Players use a few techniques in the differing parts of a game depending on your positions and opponent’s.

The Running Game Strategy

The aim of the Running Game technique is to entice all your pieces into your inner board and pull them off as quickly as you could. This plan focuses on the pace of shifting 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 can move your own pieces faster than the opponent does: when 1) you have a fewer checkers on the board; 2) all your pieces have moved beyond your competitor’s checkers; or 3) the opposing player doesn’t use the hitting or blocking technique.

The Blocking Game Plan

The main aim of the blocking tactic, by the name, is to block your competitor’s chips, temporarily, not fretting about moving your checkers quickly. As soon as you have established the blockade for the opponent’s movement with a few chips, you can move your other chips swiftly from the game board. You should also have a clear plan when to back off and shift the checkers that you used for the blockade. The game gets interesting when your opposition uses the same blocking strategy.
