The Essential Details of Backgammon Game Plans – Part One
The objective of a Backgammon game is to move your chips around the game board and bear them from the board faster than your competitor who works just as hard to achieve the same buthowever they move in the opposing direction. Succeeding in a match of Backgammon needsrequires both tactics and luck. How far you can move your chips is left to the numbers from tossing the dice, and how you move your chips are decided on by your overall playing tactics. Players use differing plans in the differing stages of a match based on your positions and opponent’s.
The Running Game Tactic
The aim of the Running Game tactic is to entice all your checkers into your home board and bear them off as quick as you could. This strategy concentrates on the speed of shifting your chips with little or no time spent to hit or barricade your opponent’s chips. The best time to employ this technique is when you think you might be able to shift your own chips a lot faster than the opposing player does: when 1) you have a fewer pieces on the board; 2) all your checkers have moved beyond your competitor’s chips; or 3) your opponent does not employ the hitting or blocking strategy.
The Blocking Game Technique
The primary goal of the blocking tactic, by its title, is to block your competitor’s checkers, temporarily, not worrying about moving your pieces rapidly. After you’ve created the barrier for your competitor’s movement with a couple of checkers, you can move your other pieces swiftly off the game board. You will need to also have a clear plan when to withdraw and move the pieces that you used for blocking. The game gets interesting when the opposition utilizes the same blocking strategy.
