The Basics of Backgammon Game Plans – Part One
The goal of a Backgammon game is to move your pieces around the Backgammon board and get those pieces off the board quicker than your opposing player who works harder to attempt the same buthowever they move in the opposing direction. Winning a match in Backgammon requires both strategy and fortune. How far you can move your checkers is left to the numbers from rolling the dice, and how you move your checkers are decided on by your overall playing strategies. Players use a number of strategies in the different parts of a game dependent on your positions and opponent’s.
The Running Game Plan
The goal of the Running Game tactic is to lure all your checkers into your home board and get them off as quickly as you could. This plan focuses on the speed of moving your pieces with absolutely no time spent to hit or block your opponent’s checkers. The ideal scenario 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 checkers have past your opponent’s chips; or 3) the opposing player doesn’t use the hitting or blocking plan.
The Blocking Game Tactic
The primary aim of the blocking technique, by the title, is to stop the opponent’s checkers, temporarily, while not fretting about shifting your chips rapidly. As soon as you’ve created the barrier for the competitor’s movement with a couple of checkers, you can shift your other checkers quickly off the board. You will need to also have a good plan when to withdraw and move the checkers that you employed for blocking. The game gets interesting when the opposition uses the same blocking technique.
