The goal of a Backgammon game is to shift your checkers around the game board and get those pieces off the game board quicker than your challenger who works just as hard to achieve the same buthowever they move in the opposing direction. Winning a round of Backgammon requires both strategy and fortune. How far you can shift your pieces is up to the numbers from rolling the dice, and the way you shift your chips are determined by your overall playing strategies. Players use a number of strategies in the differing parts of a match depending on your positions and opponent’s.
The Running Game Tactic
The aim of the Running Game strategy is to bring all your checkers into your home board and pull them off as fast as you can. This strategy concentrates on the speed of advancing your chips with little or no efforts to hit or barricade your competitor’s chips. The best time to employ this plan is when you believe you might be able to move your own pieces a lot faster than your opposition does: when 1) you have a fewer checkers on the board; 2) all your chips have moved beyond your opponent’s pieces; or 3) the opponent does not employ the hitting or blocking strategy.
The Blocking Game Strategy
The primary aim of the blocking strategy, by the name, is to stop the competitor’s chips, temporarily, not fretting about shifting your checkers quickly. Once you have established the blockage for the competitor’s movement with a couple of pieces, you can shift your other checkers swiftly off the game board. The player should also have an apparent strategy when to back off and move the checkers that you used for the blockade. The game gets intriguing when the opponent uses the same blocking strategy.
