The Essential Facts of Backgammon Game Plans – Part 1

The goal of a Backgammon game is to shift your chips around the game board and pull those pieces off the board faster than your challenger who works harder to attempt the same buthowever they move in the opposing direction. Winning a round of Backgammon needsrequires both strategy and good luck. How far you will be able to move your checkers is up to the numbers from rolling the dice, and how you shift your chips are decided on by your overall playing tactics. Players use a few tactics in the different stages of a match dependent on your positions and opponent’s.

The Running Game Tactic

The goal of the Running Game plan is to lure all your checkers into your inside board and get them off as quick as you could. This strategy concentrates on the speed of moving your checkers with absolutely no efforts to hit or barricade your opponent’s chips. The best time to employ this tactic is when you believe you can move your own checkers faster than the opposing player does: when 1) you have less chips on the game board; 2) all your pieces have moved beyond your competitor’s checkers; or 3) your opposing player does not employ the hitting or blocking technique.

The Blocking Game Plan

The primary aim of the blocking tactic, by its title, is to stop the opponent’s checkers, temporarily, not worrying about shifting your pieces quickly. After you’ve created the blockage for your competitor’s movement with a few chips, you can move your other checkers rapidly off the game board. You should also have a good strategy when to withdraw and shift the checkers that you employed for blocking. The game becomes interesting when the opponent utilizes the same blocking technique.
