The Essential Basics of Backgammon Game Plans – Part One


[ English ]

The objective of a Backgammon match is to move your chips around the game board and pull them from the board faster than your opponent who works harder to do the same buthowever they move in the opposing direction. Succeeding in a round in Backgammon requires both strategy and fortune. How far you can move your pieces is left to the numbers from tossing the dice, and the way you shift your checkers are decided on by your overall playing plans. Players use a number of techniques in the differing parts of a match based on your positions and opponent’s.

The Running Game Tactic

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

The Blocking Game Technique

The main aim of the blocking plan, by the title, is to block the competitor’s checkers, temporarily, while not fretting about moving your chips rapidly. Once you have created the blockade for the competitor’s movement with a couple of pieces, you can shift your other chips swiftly off the board. The player will need to also have an apparent plan when to withdraw and move the checkers that you employed for blocking. The game becomes intriguing when your opposition utilizes the same blocking technique.
