The goal of a Backgammon game is to move your checkers around the game board and get those pieces from the game board faster than your opponent who works just as hard to achieve the same buthowever they move in the opposite direction. Succeeding in a match of Backgammon requires both tactics and fortune. Just how far you can shift your pieces is up to the numbers from rolling the dice, and just how you shift your chips are decided on by your overall playing strategies. Enthusiasts use different strategies in the differing parts of a match dependent on your positions and opponent’s.
The Running Game Plan
The goal of the Running Game strategy is to lure all your pieces into your inside board and bear them off as fast as you could. This plan focuses on the speed of moving your pieces with little or no time spent to hit or stop your competitor’s checkers. The best time to use this technique is when you believe you might be able to shift your own pieces quicker than the opposition does: when 1) you have a fewer pieces on the board; 2) all your checkers have moved beyond your competitor’s pieces; or 3) the opponent doesn’t use the hitting or blocking tactic.
The Blocking Game Strategy
The main goal of the blocking plan, by its name, is to block the competitor’s checkers, temporarily, while not worrying about shifting your checkers quickly. Once you have established the blockage for your opponent’s movement with a few pieces, you can shift your other pieces swiftly off the board. You should also have an apparent plan when to withdraw and move the pieces that you utilized for the blockade. The game gets intriguing when your opposition uses the same blocking technique.
