The objective of a Backgammon match is to shift your chips around the game board and bear those pieces off the board faster than your challenger who works just as hard to attempt the same buthowever they move in the opposite direction. Succeeding in a game in Backgammon requires both strategy and luck. How far you will be able to move your chips is left to the numbers from rolling the dice, and just how you shift your chips are decided on by your overall playing plans. Players use different techniques in the different parts of a match depending on your positions and opponent’s.
The Running Game Tactic
The goal of the Running Game strategy is to bring all your checkers into your home board and pull them off as quickly as you could. This technique focuses on the speed of advancing your checkers with little or no efforts to hit or barricade your competitor’s checkers. The ideal time to employ this plan is when you believe you might be able to move your own chips quicker than your 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 opponent doesn’t use the hitting or blocking strategy.
The Blocking Game Strategy
The main goal of the blocking strategy, by its name, is to stop the opponent’s checkers, temporarily, not fretting about shifting your chips quickly. As soon as you’ve established the blockade for your opponent’s movement with a couple of chips, you can shift your other pieces rapidly off the board. The player will need to also have a good plan when to extract and shift the pieces that you employed for the blockade. The game gets intriguing when the opponent uses the same blocking strategy.
