Monday, 10. January 2022
The objective of a Backgammon match is to shift your chips around the game board and bear those pieces off the game board quicker than your opponent who works just as hard to attempt the same buthowever they move in the opposing direction. Succeeding in a match in Backgammon needsrequires both strategy and good luck. How far you will be able to shift your chips is up to the numbers from tossing a pair of dice, and just how you shift your pieces are decided on by your overall playing plans. Enthusiasts use different plans in the differing parts of a match depending on your positions and opponent’s.
The Running Game Technique
The goal of the Running Game plan is to entice all your chips into your inner board and bear them off as quickly as you can. This technique focuses on the pace of advancing your pieces with little or no efforts to hit or barricade your competitor’s chips. The ideal time to employ this tactic is when you think you might be able to move your own pieces quicker than the opponent does: when 1) you have a fewer chips on the game board; 2) all your checkers have past your competitor’s checkers; or 3) your opponent doesn’t use the hitting or blocking strategy.
The Blocking Game Plan
The primary goal of the blocking plan, by its title, is to block your competitor’s chips, temporarily, while not worrying about shifting your pieces quickly. As soon as you have created the blockage for your competitor’s movement with a few chips, you can shift your other pieces rapidly from the game board. You should also have a clear strategy when to withdraw and move the chips that you employed for blocking. The game gets intriguing when your competitor utilizes the same blocking strategy.
