The goal of a Backgammon match is to shift your chips around the Backgammon board and pull them from the board quicker than your competitor who works just as hard to do the same buthowever they move in the opposite direction. Winning a match in Backgammon needsrequires both tactics and fortune. Just how far you will be able to shift your chips is left to the numbers from rolling the dice, and how you shift your checkers are determined by your overall playing strategies. Players use a number of tactics in the differing parts of a game depending on your positions and opponent’s.
The Running Game Strategy
The aim of the Running Game plan is to bring all your checkers into your inside board and bear them off as quick as you can. This tactic focuses on the speed of advancing your chips with little or no time spent to hit or barricade your opponent’s pieces. The ideal scenario to employ this plan is when you believe you might be able to shift your own pieces a lot faster than your opposing player does: when 1) you have a fewer checkers on the game board; 2) all your checkers have moved beyond your competitor’s pieces; or 3) the opposing player does not employ the hitting or blocking tactic.
The Blocking Game Tactic
The main goal of the blocking tactic, by its name, is to block your opponent’s chips, temporarily, not fretting about shifting your chips quickly. Once you’ve created the barrier for the competitor’s movement with a couple of checkers, you can move your other checkers swiftly from the game board. You will need to also have a clear strategy when to back off and move the chips that you employed for the blockade. The game gets intriguing when your opposition utilizes the same blocking tactic.
