The objective of a Backgammon game is to move your checkers around the game board and get them off the board quicker than your opposing player who works harder to do the same buthowever they move in the opposing direction. Winning a match in Backgammon requires both strategy and fortune. How far you will be able to move your pieces is left to the numbers from tossing the dice, and the way you shift your pieces are determined by your overall playing plans. Players use different plans in the differing stages of a match based on your positions and opponent’s.
The Running Game Strategy
The goal of the Running Game tactic is to lure all your pieces into your home board and pull them off as quick as you can. This tactic concentrates on the speed of shifting your chips with no time spent to hit or barricade your opponent’s pieces. The best time to employ this tactic is when you think you can shift your own chips a lot faster than the opposition does: when 1) you have a fewer checkers on the board; 2) all your pieces have moved beyond your competitor’s pieces; or 3) your opponent does not use the hitting or blocking technique.
The Blocking Game Technique
The main aim of the blocking plan, by its title, is to stop your opponent’s pieces, temporarily, while not worrying about moving your checkers rapidly. Once you’ve established the blockade for the opponent’s movement with a couple of checkers, you can move your other checkers quickly off the game board. You should also have a clear strategy when to extract and shift the chips that you employed for the blockade. The game becomes intriguing when your competitor utilizes the same blocking tactic.
