The Basics of Backgammon Game Plans – Part One
The objective of a Backgammon match is to move your checkers around the game board and bear them off the board quicker than your competitor who works harder to attempt the same buthowever they move in the opposing direction. Winning a round of Backgammon requires both strategy and luck. How far you will be able to shift your checkers is up to the numbers from rolling the dice, and just how you shift your pieces are decided on by your overall playing techniques. Players use differing techniques in the differing stages of a match depending on your positions and opponent’s.
The Running Game Plan
The aim of the Running Game tactic is to entice all your checkers into your inside board and pull them off as fast as you could. This technique focuses on the speed of advancing your checkers with absolutely no efforts to hit or barricade your competitor’s pieces. The ideal time to use this strategy is when you believe you can move your own checkers faster than your opponent does: when 1) you have less chips on the game board; 2) all your chips have moved beyond your competitor’s chips; or 3) the opponent does not employ the hitting or blocking tactic.
The Blocking Game Technique
The primary goal of the blocking strategy, by its title, is to block the opponent’s pieces, temporarily, while not worrying about moving your pieces rapidly. After you have created the blockage for your opponent’s movement with a couple of pieces, you can shift your other pieces swiftly from the board. The player should also have a good strategy when to back off and move the checkers that you used for the blockade. The game becomes intriguing when your opposition uses the same blocking tactic.
