The Essential Details of Backgammon Game Plans – Part 1

The aim of a Backgammon match is to move your pieces around the Backgammon board and bear those pieces from the board quicker than your opposing player who works just as hard to attempt the same buthowever they move in the opposite direction. Winning a match in Backgammon requires both strategy and good luck. Just how far you can move your chips is up to the numbers from tossing a pair of dice, and the way you shift your pieces are determined by your overall playing tactics. Enthusiasts use differing tactics in the different parts of a match depending on your positions and opponent’s.

The Running Game Strategy

The goal of the Running Game strategy is to lure all your pieces into your inside board and pull them off as quick as you can. This tactic concentrates on the speed of advancing your chips with little or no efforts to hit or block your opponent’s pieces. The ideal scenario to employ this tactic is when you believe you can move your own pieces faster than the opposing player does: when 1) you have a fewer checkers on the board; 2) all your pieces have moved beyond your competitor’s checkers; or 3) your opponent doesn’t employ the hitting or blocking technique.

The Blocking Game Strategy

The primary goal of the blocking tactic, by the title, is to stop the competitor’s chips, temporarily, not fretting about shifting your chips quickly. Once you’ve established the blockage for your opponent’s movement with a few chips, you can move your other chips swiftly off the board. You should also have a good strategy when to back off and move the checkers that you used for blocking. The game becomes interesting when the opposition uses the same blocking technique.
