The Basics of Backgammon Game Plans – Part 1
Wednesday, 24. June 2020
The objective of a Backgammon game is to move your checkers around the Backgammon board and bear those pieces off the board faster than your competitor who works just as hard to attempt the same buthowever they move in the opposite direction. Succeeding in a match in Backgammon needsrequires both strategy and fortune. Just how far you will be able to shift your checkers is left to the numbers from tossing a pair of dice, and the way you move your pieces are decided on by your overall playing strategies. Enthusiasts use differing tactics in the different stages of a game dependent on your positions and opponent’s.
The Running Game Tactic
The goal of the Running Game plan is to lure all your chips into your inside board and bear them off as fast as you can. This strategy concentrates on the pace of moving your chips with little or no time spent to hit or barricade your opponent’s checkers. The best scenario to employ this strategy is when you believe you might be able to move your own chips faster than the opposition does: when 1) you have less pieces on the game board; 2) all your pieces have past your opponent’s pieces; or 3) the opponent does not employ the hitting or blocking technique.
The Blocking Game Tactic
The main goal of the blocking plan, by its name, is to stop the competitor’s pieces, temporarily, not fretting about shifting your pieces quickly. After you’ve established the blockade for your opponent’s movement with a couple of pieces, you can move your other checkers quickly from the game board. The player really should also have an apparent plan when to extract and move the pieces that you employed for blocking. The game becomes intriguing when the opposition uses the same blocking tactic.
