The Basics of Backgammon Game Plans – Part One

The aim of a Backgammon game is to shift your chips around the Backgammon board and get those pieces from the game board quicker than your opponent who works just as hard to achieve the same buthowever they move in the opposing direction. Winning a match of Backgammon needsrequires both tactics and luck. How far you can move your checkers is left to the numbers from tossing a pair of dice, and just how you shift your checkers are determined by your overall gambling tactics. Players use different strategies in the differing stages of a game based on your positions and opponent’s.

The Running Game Plan

The aim of the Running Game plan is to lure all your chips into your home board and pull them off as fast as you could. This tactic focuses on the pace of shifting your pieces with little or no efforts to hit or stop your opponent’s chips. The ideal scenario to use this tactic is when you think you might be able to shift your own pieces a lot faster than your opposing player does: when 1) you have less checkers on the board; 2) all your checkers have past your opponent’s chips; or 3) your opposing player does not use the hitting or blocking strategy.

The Blocking Game Tactic

The main goal of the blocking technique, by the name, is to stop your opponent’s chips, temporarily, not worrying about moving your pieces rapidly. Once you’ve created the barrier for your opponent’s movement with a couple of checkers, you can move your other checkers rapidly off the game board. The player will need to also have an apparent plan when to withdraw and shift the checkers that you utilized for the blockade. The game gets interesting when your competitor utilizes the same blocking technique.
