The goal of a Backgammon game is to shift your chips around the Backgammon board and pull those pieces off the board quicker than your competitor who works just as hard to attempt the same buthowever they move in the opposite direction. Winning a match in Backgammon requires both tactics and fortune. Just how far you can shift your chips is left to the numbers from tossing a pair of dice, and how you move your checkers are determined by your overall playing strategies. Players use different techniques in the different stages of a game based on your positions and opponent’s.
The Running Game Plan
The aim of the Running Game technique is to bring all your pieces into your inside board and pull them off as quickly as you can. This strategy focuses on the speed of advancing your pieces with absolutely no efforts to hit or barricade your opponent’s chips. The ideal scenario to employ this strategy is when you believe you can shift your own checkers quicker than the opposing player does: when 1) you have less chips on the board; 2) all your checkers have past your competitor’s chips; or 3) the opponent doesn’t employ the hitting or blocking plan.
The Blocking Game Strategy
The primary aim of the blocking strategy, by the name, is to block your competitor’s pieces, temporarily, not fretting about shifting your pieces quickly. After you’ve established the barrier for the opponent’s movement with a few pieces, you can move your other pieces rapidly from the board. The player will need to also have an apparent strategy when to back off and move the checkers that you used for the blockade. The game becomes interesting when the opposition utilizes the same blocking technique.
