HOW BACKGAMMON TOURNAMENTS WORK
July 6th, 2006When participating in a backgammon tournament, the score

However we want to build a basic strategy guideline, which should help you in tackling crux situations.You should have adequate knowledge of the terms like prime, holding, racing. Identify the key points and define your strategy as per the progression of the game. Keep your eyes wide open and try to judge how the opponent is playing or where he places his checkers. Try to guess the opponent’s intention and plan. Your placing of checkers must be at your advantage but simultaneously to upset the opponent’s plan, at the least, it should create hindrances in the opponent’s planned moves.
1. Keep your options open. Whenever you are placing a checker on a particular point, think of the movement of the checker at your next roll. It’s always advisable to keep at least 2 alternatives open for every subsequent move.

This is especially very helpful in case of a ‘back game’. Read the rest of this entry »
