The Essential Details of Backgammon Game Plans – Part One

[ English ]

The objective of a Backgammon match is to move your pieces around the game board and pull them off the game board quicker than your challenger who works just as hard to do the same buthowever they move in the opposite direction. Succeeding in a round in Backgammon requires both tactics and good luck. How far you can move your checkers is left to the numbers from rolling the dice, and the way you move your chips are decided on by your overall gambling strategies. Players use different techniques in the different stages of a game based on your positions and opponent’s.

The Running Game Strategy

The goal of the Running Game technique is to lure all your checkers into your inside board and bear them off as fast as you can. This strategy concentrates on the speed of shifting your checkers with absolutely no efforts to hit or stop your competitor’s chips. The best time to use this tactic is when you think you can shift your own chips quicker than the opposing player does: when 1) you have less checkers on the game board; 2) all your chips have moved beyond your opponent’s chips; or 3) your opponent doesn’t employ the hitting or blocking technique.

The Blocking Game Strategy

The primary aim of the blocking strategy, by the title, is to block your opponent’s chips, temporarily, not worrying about moving your pieces rapidly. As soon as you have created the blockage for the competitor’s movement with a couple of chips, you can shift your other chips quickly from the game board. The player will need to also have an apparent strategy when to extract and move the pieces that you used for blocking. The game becomes intriguing when your opposition uses the same blocking technique.
