The Essential Basics of Backgammon Game Plans – Part One

April 22nd, 2020 Leave a comment Go to comments

The aim of a Backgammon match is to move your chips around the game board and get them off the game board faster than your opposing player who works harder to do the same buthowever they move in the opposite direction. Succeeding in a game of Backgammon requires both strategy and good luck. How far you can move your chips is left to the numbers from tossing a pair of dice, and how you shift your pieces are decided on by your overall gambling tactics. Players use a few techniques in the different parts of a game depending on your positions and opponent’s.

The Running Game Technique

The aim of the Running Game strategy is to bring all your chips into your inside board and bear them off as quickly as you can. This strategy concentrates on the speed of shifting your pieces with absolutely no time spent to hit or stop your competitor’s checkers. The best time to use this technique is when you think you might be able to shift your own checkers a lot faster than your opponent does: when 1) you have less pieces on the game board; 2) all your checkers have moved beyond your opponent’s checkers; or 3) your opposing player doesn’t use the hitting or blocking strategy.

The Blocking Game Strategy

The primary goal of the blocking technique, by its title, is to block the competitor’s checkers, temporarily, while not fretting about shifting your pieces quickly. Once you’ve established the blockade for your opponent’s movement with a few checkers, you can shift your other pieces quickly off the board. The player will need to also have a good strategy when to withdraw and move the pieces that you used for the blockade. The game becomes intriguing when the opponent utilizes the same blocking technique.
