The aim of a Backgammon game is to move your pieces around the Backgammon board and bear them from the game board faster than your opponent who works just as hard to achieve the same buthowever they move in the opposite direction. Winning a match in Backgammon requires both strategy and fortune. Just how far you will be able to move your chips is up to the numbers from tossing the dice, and just how you shift your checkers are determined by your overall gambling strategies. Players use a few plans in the different stages of a game dependent on your positions and opponent’s.
The Running Game Strategy
The goal of the Running Game plan is to bring all your pieces into your inside board and pull them off as fast as you can. This technique focuses on the speed of moving your checkers with little or no efforts to hit or barricade your opponent’s pieces. The best scenario to employ this strategy is when you believe you can shift your own pieces quicker than the opponent does: when 1) you have a fewer chips on the game board; 2) all your chips have past your competitor’s pieces; or 3) your opponent does not use the hitting or blocking strategy.
The Blocking Game Plan
The main aim of the blocking technique, by the name, is to stop the competitor’s pieces, temporarily, not worrying about moving your chips rapidly. As soon as you have established the blockade for your opponent’s movement with a few checkers, you can shift your other pieces quickly off the game board. The player will need to also have a good strategy when to withdraw and shift the chips that you used for blocking. The game becomes interesting when your competitor uses the same blocking tactic.
