The Basics of Backgammon Game Plans – Part 1

The aim of a Backgammon match is to shift your pieces around the Backgammon board and get them from the board quicker than your opposing player who works just as hard to do the same buthowever they move in the opposing direction. Succeeding in a match of Backgammon requires both tactics and good luck. Just how far you will be able to move your chips is up to the numbers from tossing the dice, and how you shift your pieces are decided on by your overall gambling strategies. Enthusiasts use different techniques in the differing parts of a match dependent on your positions and opponent’s.

The Running Game Strategy

The aim of the Running Game plan is to bring all your checkers into your inside board and get them off as fast as you can. This strategy concentrates on the speed of moving your chips with little or no time spent to hit or stop your opponent’s chips. The best scenario to use this technique is when you think you can shift your own checkers a lot faster than your opponent does: when 1) you have less checkers on the board; 2) all your pieces have moved beyond your competitor’s chips; or 3) your opponent does not employ the hitting or blocking plan.

The Blocking Game Strategy

The main aim of the blocking technique, by the title, is to block your opponent’s checkers, temporarily, while not worrying about shifting your checkers rapidly. Once you’ve established the blockade for the competitor’s movement with a couple of checkers, you can move your other checkers swiftly off the game board. The player should also have a clear strategy when to extract and move the chips that you utilized for the blockade. The game becomes intriguing when the opposition uses the same blocking strategy.
