The Basics of Backgammon Game Plans – Part 1
Wednesday, 16. April 2025
The goal of a Backgammon game is to move your pieces around the game board and pull those pieces from the game board quicker than your opponent who works just as hard to attempt the same buthowever they move in the opposing direction. Winning a match of Backgammon needsrequires both tactics and fortune. Just how far you will be able to move your checkers is left to the numbers from tossing the dice, and how you shift your checkers are decided on by your overall playing plans. Players use differing tactics in the different parts of a match based on your positions and opponent’s.
The Running Game Tactic
The goal of the Running Game technique is to lure all your checkers into your home board and pull them off as fast as you can. This tactic concentrates on the pace of advancing your chips with little or no time spent to hit or block your opponent’s pieces. The ideal scenario to use this technique is when you believe you can shift your own checkers a lot faster than the opposing player does: when 1) you have less pieces on the board; 2) all your chips have past your opponent’s checkers; or 3) your opposing player doesn’t employ the hitting or blocking technique.
The Blocking Game Technique
The main goal of the blocking tactic, by the name, is to block your opponent’s chips, temporarily, not worrying about shifting your checkers quickly. After you’ve created the blockage for your competitor’s movement with a few pieces, you can shift your other checkers swiftly from the board. You should also have a clear plan when to extract and move the chips that you utilized for the blockade. The game becomes intriguing when your competitor utilizes the same blocking tactic.
