The Essential Basics of Backgammon Game Plans – Part 1

[ English ]

The objective of a Backgammon match is to move your pieces around the game board and get those pieces off the game board quicker than your opposing player who works harder to attempt the same buthowever they move in the opposite direction. Winning a round of Backgammon requires both strategy and luck. Just how far you can move your pieces is left to the numbers from tossing a pair of dice, and just how you shift your checkers are decided on by your overall playing strategies. Enthusiasts use different techniques in the differing stages of a game dependent on your positions and opponent’s.

The Running Game Plan

The goal of the Running Game plan is to entice all your checkers into your home board and bear them off as fast as you could. This tactic concentrates on the speed of shifting your checkers with little or no time spent to hit or block your competitor’s checkers. The ideal scenario to employ this tactic is when you believe you can move your own pieces faster than your opposition does: when 1) you have less chips on the board; 2) all your checkers have moved beyond your competitor’s chips; or 3) the opponent doesn’t use the hitting or blocking tactic.

The Blocking Game Tactic

The main goal of the blocking plan, by its name, is to block the competitor’s checkers, temporarily, not fretting about shifting your chips rapidly. As soon as you’ve created the barrier for your competitor’s movement with a few checkers, you can shift your other checkers quickly off the game board. You will need to also have an apparent strategy when to withdraw and shift the pieces that you employed for the blockade. The game becomes interesting when the competitor uses the same blocking tactic.
