The Essential Facts of Backgammon Game Plans – Part 1

The aim of a Backgammon game is to move your pieces around the Backgammon board and get them off the board quicker than your opponent who works just as hard to do the same buthowever they move in the opposite direction. Winning a round of Backgammon requires both tactics and good luck. Just how far you will be able to shift your pieces is left to the numbers from tossing a pair of dice, and the way you shift your pieces are determined by your overall playing tactics. Players use a few strategies in the different parts of a match based on your positions and opponent’s.

The Running Game Tactic

The goal of the Running Game plan is to lure all your checkers into your inside board and get them off as fast as you could. This plan concentrates on the pace of moving your checkers with absolutely no time spent to hit or block your opponent’s pieces. The best time to use this plan is when you believe you might be able to move your own checkers a lot faster than your opponent does: when 1) you have less pieces on the game board; 2) all your chips have moved beyond your competitor’s chips; or 3) the opponent doesn’t employ the hitting or blocking technique.

The Blocking Game Plan

The main aim of the blocking plan, by its title, is to block your opponent’s pieces, temporarily, not fretting about moving your chips rapidly. After you have established the barrier for the competitor’s movement with a few chips, you can move your other pieces rapidly off the game board. You will need to also have a clear strategy when to extract and move the pieces that you employed for blocking. The game becomes interesting when your competitor utilizes the same blocking tactic.
