The goal of a Backgammon game is to shift your chips around the Backgammon board and get them off the game board quicker than your opposing player who works harder to do the same buthowever they move in the opposing direction. Succeeding in a match of Backgammon requires both strategy and luck. How far you will be able to shift your pieces is left to the numbers from rolling the dice, and the way you shift your pieces are decided on by your overall playing techniques. Players use differing plans in the differing parts of a match based on your positions and opponent’s.
The Running Game Plan
The aim of the Running Game plan is to entice all your pieces into your inside board and get them off as quick as you could. This tactic focuses on the speed of moving your checkers with absolutely no time spent to hit or stop your opponent’s checkers. The best scenario to use this plan is when you believe you might be able to shift your own checkers quicker than the opposing player does: when 1) you have a fewer pieces on the game board; 2) all your chips have past your opponent’s pieces; or 3) your opponent doesn’t use the hitting or blocking technique.
The Blocking Game Technique
The main aim of the blocking strategy, by its title, is to block your competitor’s pieces, temporarily, while not worrying about shifting your pieces quickly. After you’ve created the blockage for your competitor’s movement with a few checkers, you can shift your other pieces rapidly off the game board. The player will need to also have an apparent plan when to back off and shift the pieces that you used for the blockade. The game gets interesting when your opposition utilizes the same blocking technique.
