The goal of a Backgammon game is to move your chips around the Backgammon board and get them off the game board quicker than your challenger who works harder to do the same buthowever they move in the opposite direction. Succeeding in a round of Backgammon requires both strategy and good luck. How far you will be able to shift your checkers is left to the numbers from tossing the dice, and just how you shift your checkers are determined by your overall playing plans. Enthusiasts use a number of plans in the differing parts of a game dependent on your positions and opponent’s.
The Running Game Plan
The aim of the Running Game plan is to entice all your pieces into your inner board and bear them off as quick as you could. This plan concentrates on the pace of advancing your chips with absolutely no efforts to hit or barricade your opponent’s checkers. The ideal scenario to use this technique is when you believe you can move your own checkers a lot faster than the opposition does: when 1) you have less pieces on the game board; 2) all your chips have past your opponent’s chips; or 3) your opposing player does not employ the hitting or blocking strategy.
The Blocking Game Plan
The main aim of the blocking plan, by the title, is to block the opponent’s pieces, temporarily, not worrying about moving your pieces quickly. As soon as you have created the blockage for the opponent’s movement with a couple of chips, you can move your other chips rapidly off the board. You should also have an apparent strategy when to extract and move the pieces that you employed for blocking. The game becomes interesting when your opponent uses the same blocking strategy.
