The Essential Details of Backgammon Game Plans – Part 1
The aim of a Backgammon match is to shift your chips around the Backgammon board and bear them off the game board quicker than your opponent who works just as hard to achieve the same buthowever they move in the opposite direction. Winning a round of Backgammon requires both strategy and good luck. How far you will be able to move your checkers is up to the numbers from rolling the dice, and the way you shift your chips are decided on by your overall playing strategies. 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 plan is to bring all your pieces into your inside board and get them off as quick as you can. This technique focuses on the speed of shifting your pieces with little or no time spent to hit or block your competitor’s chips. The best time to employ this strategy is when you believe you might be able to move your own checkers faster than your opponent does: when 1) you have a fewer chips on the board; 2) all your checkers have past your competitor’s pieces; or 3) the opponent doesn’t use the hitting or blocking strategy.
The Blocking Game Strategy
The main aim of the blocking technique, by the name, is to block your competitor’s chips, temporarily, while not fretting about moving your checkers rapidly. After you have established the blockade for your opponent’s movement with a few checkers, you can shift your other checkers swiftly off the game board. You will need to also have a good strategy when to back off and move the checkers that you used for the blockade. The game becomes interesting when the competitor uses the same blocking strategy.
