A Backgammon Checkers Strategy
When I play backgammon, I have a weird strategy where I look at the backgammon checkers as friends, and I don’t want to lose a friend. I know, it sounds funny, but it work because my strategy is always to block my opponents paths and hit his checkers without losing mine. If I start getting my checkers hit, I always end up in trouble because I’m terrible of getting them out; that’s a big reason why I stick to a cautious game as oppose to a running game.
But, when I view the backgammon checkers as more than checkers, it helps me remain patient and not apt to running them up the board and leaving them opened to being hit. Luckily for me, lots of people I play today take to running games no matter what. That’s where I do best since if you’re moving fast you open yourself up to being hit. When I play against other players who play a priming game, it’s hard. But when they are moving fast I just build walls and work my best to pick their checkers off. It’s a backgammon checker strategy I guess.
Of course, I’m still working on my running game. I started playing free online backgammon as a way to try it out risk free and it’s going pretty good. But, it’s hard to break a style of playing so it will probably be sometime before I move on to fast backgammon play. But, that’s fine with me; so far the slow game has done me well.
