The aim of a Backgammon game is to shift your checkers around the Backgammon board and bear those pieces off the game board faster than your competitor who works just as hard to achieve the same buthowever they move in the opposite direction. Winning a match of Backgammon needsrequires both tactics and good luck. Just how far you will be able to move your checkers is left to the numbers from tossing the dice, and how you shift your pieces are determined by your overall playing plans. Players use differing techniques in the different parts of a match based on your positions and opponent’s.
The Running Game Plan
The aim of the Running Game strategy is to entice all your pieces into your inside board and get them off as quick as you can. This tactic focuses on the pace of shifting your chips with absolutely no efforts to hit or barricade your opponent’s chips. The ideal time to employ this technique is when you believe you might be able to shift your own pieces quicker than the opposing player does: when 1) you have a fewer pieces on the game board; 2) all your checkers have past your competitor’s pieces; or 3) your opponent does not use the hitting or blocking plan.
The Blocking Game Technique
The main aim of the blocking tactic, by the title, is to stop the competitor’s pieces, temporarily, not worrying about moving your chips quickly. As soon as you have established the blockade for the opponent’s movement with a couple of checkers, you can shift your other chips swiftly from the board. You should also have a good plan when to back off and shift the chips that you used for blocking. The game gets interesting when the opposition utilizes the same blocking strategy.
