The Basics of Backgammon Game Plans – Part One

The objective of a Backgammon game is to move your checkers around the Backgammon board and get them off the game board faster than your opposing player who works harder to do the same buthowever they move in the opposite direction. Winning a game in Backgammon needsrequires both tactics and fortune. How far you will be able to move your checkers is up to the numbers from rolling a pair of dice, and the way you shift your checkers are determined by your overall gambling techniques. Players use different plans in the differing stages of a game dependent on your positions and opponent’s.

The Running Game Plan

The aim of the Running Game technique is to bring all your chips into your inner board and pull them off as quickly as you can. This tactic concentrates on the speed of advancing your chips with absolutely no time spent to hit or block your competitor’s chips. The ideal scenario to employ this technique is when you believe you might be able to shift your own chips a lot faster than your opposition does: when 1) you have less pieces on the board; 2) all your checkers have moved beyond your competitor’s chips; or 3) your opposing player does not use the hitting or blocking plan.

The Blocking Game Strategy

The primary aim of the blocking tactic, by the title, is to block your opponent’s pieces, temporarily, while not worrying about shifting your pieces rapidly. After you’ve created the blockade for the competitor’s movement with a few checkers, you can move your other checkers quickly from the board. You really should also have a good strategy when to back off and move the chips that you used for the blockade. The game becomes intriguing when the opponent utilizes the same blocking technique.
