The objective of a Backgammon game is to move your checkers around the game board and get those pieces from the game board quicker than your opponent who works just as hard to do the same buthowever they move in the opposite direction. Winning a round in Backgammon requires both tactics and fortune. Just how far you will be able to move your checkers is left to the numbers from rolling a pair of dice, and the way you shift your pieces are determined by your overall gambling techniques. Players use differing strategies in the differing parts of a game dependent on your positions and opponent’s.
The Running Game Strategy
The goal of the Running Game strategy is to lure all your pieces into your inner board and get them off as quick as you can. This strategy concentrates on the pace of moving your checkers with no time spent to hit or barricade your competitor’s chips. The best scenario to use this technique is when you believe you can move your own pieces faster than your opponent does: when 1) you have a fewer chips on the board; 2) all your pieces have moved beyond your opponent’s chips; or 3) your opponent doesn’t employ the hitting or blocking strategy.
The Blocking Game Strategy
The primary aim of the blocking strategy, by its title, is to stop the competitor’s checkers, temporarily, not worrying about shifting your chips rapidly. After you’ve created the blockade for your opponent’s movement with a few chips, you can move your other chips quickly from the game board. You should also have a clear plan when to back off and shift the checkers that you utilized for the blockade. The game becomes interesting when your opposition uses the same blocking strategy.
