The Essential Details of Backgammon Game Plans – Part One

March 29th, 2025 Leave a comment Go to comments

The objective of a Backgammon match is to shift your checkers around the Backgammon board and get them off the game board faster than your challenger who works harder to attempt the same buthowever they move in the opposing direction. Winning a match of Backgammon needsrequires both tactics and good luck. How far you can shift your chips is left to the numbers from tossing the dice, and how you shift your chips are determined by your overall playing techniques. Players use a few techniques in the differing stages of a match depending on your positions and opponent’s.

The Running Game Plan

The goal of the Running Game strategy is to bring all your pieces into your inner board and pull them off as quick as you could. This technique concentrates on the pace of moving your chips with little or no efforts to hit or stop your competitor’s chips. The best time to use this tactic is when you believe you might be able to shift your own pieces faster than your opposing player does: when 1) you have less checkers on the game board; 2) all your pieces have moved beyond your opponent’s chips; or 3) your 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 opponent’s pieces, temporarily, not fretting about shifting your checkers rapidly. Once you’ve established the barrier for the competitor’s movement with a couple of chips, you can move your other checkers swiftly from the board. The player will need to also have a good strategy when to back off and move the chips that you used for blocking. The game becomes interesting when the opponent utilizes the same blocking technique.
