The Essential Basics of Backgammon Game Plans – Part 1
February 11th, 2021 by Claudia

The aim of a Backgammon game is to move your checkers around the game board and bear them from the game board quicker than your opposing player who works just as hard to achieve the same buthowever they move in the opposing direction. Winning a game in Backgammon needsrequires both tactics and luck. Just how far you can move your chips is left to the numbers from tossing the dice, and how you move your chips are decided on by your overall playing plans. Players use differing plans in the differing parts of a game dependent on your positions and opponent’s.

The Running Game Strategy

The aim of the Running Game plan is to bring all your pieces into your inside board and bear them off as fast as you could. This strategy focuses on the pace of advancing your checkers with little or no time spent to hit or stop your opponent’s chips. The ideal scenario to employ this tactic is when you think you might be able to shift your own chips a lot faster than the opposing player does: when 1) you have a fewer pieces on the board; 2) all your checkers have moved beyond your competitor’s checkers; or 3) the opponent does not use the hitting or blocking technique.

The Blocking Game Plan

The main goal of the blocking strategy, by its title, is to block the competitor’s checkers, temporarily, while not worrying about shifting your checkers rapidly. After you have created the blockade for your opponent’s movement with a couple of chips, you can move your other pieces quickly off the game board. You will need to also have an apparent plan when to back off and shift the pieces that you used for blocking. The game gets intriguing when your opponent utilizes the same blocking strategy.
