The aim of a Backgammon game is to shift your checkers around the game board and pull those pieces off the board quicker than your challenger who works just as hard to achieve the same buthowever they move in the opposing direction. Winning a match in Backgammon requires both strategy and luck. How far you will be able to shift your chips is up to the numbers from tossing a pair of dice, and just how you move your chips are determined by your overall playing tactics. Players use differing plans in the different parts of a game based on your positions and opponent’s.
The Running Game Strategy
The goal of the Running Game tactic is to lure all your pieces into your inner board and bear them off as quickly as you could. This plan focuses on the pace of advancing your pieces with no efforts to hit or stop your competitor’s pieces. The best time to employ this plan is when you think you can move your own checkers a lot faster than your opponent does: when 1) you have a fewer checkers on the game board; 2) all your chips have moved beyond your opponent’s pieces; or 3) the opponent does not use the hitting or blocking technique.
The Blocking Game Strategy
The main aim of the blocking plan, by its title, is to block your opponent’s pieces, temporarily, not fretting about shifting your checkers quickly. Once you’ve established the blockage for the opponent’s movement with a few pieces, you can shift your other pieces rapidly off the game board. You will need to also have an apparent strategy when to back off and move the checkers that you used for the blockade. The game gets intriguing when your opponent uses the same blocking technique.
