The aim of a Backgammon match is to shift your checkers around the game board and get them off the board quicker than your competitor who works just as hard to achieve the same buthowever they move in the opposing direction. Succeeding in a game in Backgammon requires both strategy and fortune. How far you will be able to shift your checkers is up to the numbers from rolling the dice, and just how you move your chips are determined by your overall playing tactics. Players use different tactics in the differing stages of a match dependent on your positions and opponent’s.
The Running Game Plan
The aim of the Running Game tactic is to lure all your chips into your home board and get them off as quick as you could. This technique concentrates on the pace of moving your pieces with no efforts to hit or block your opponent’s chips. The best scenario to employ this tactic is when you believe you can move your own checkers a lot faster than your opposition does: when 1) you have less pieces on the board; 2) all your pieces have past your competitor’s chips; or 3) your opposing player does not use the hitting or blocking strategy.
The Blocking Game Technique
The primary goal of the blocking strategy, by its name, is to block your competitor’s chips, temporarily, while not fretting about moving your pieces rapidly. After you’ve created the blockage for your competitor’s movement with a couple of pieces, you can shift your other chips rapidly off the game board. You should also have a good strategy when to back off and shift the pieces that you used for blocking. The game gets interesting when your opposition utilizes the same blocking strategy.
