The goal of a Backgammon match is to move your pieces around the Backgammon board and get them from the board faster than your competitor who works just as hard to do the same buthowever they move in the opposite direction. Winning a game of Backgammon requires both tactics and fortune. How far you can shift your pieces is left to the numbers from tossing the dice, and how you move your chips are decided on by your overall gambling plans. Players use different strategies in the differing stages of a game based on your positions and opponent’s.
The Running Game Plan
The aim of the Running Game strategy is to bring all your pieces into your inside board and pull them off as quick as you can. This strategy focuses on the pace of advancing your chips with no time spent to hit or stop your opponent’s chips. The ideal time to employ this technique is when you think you might be able to move your own pieces a lot faster than your opposing player does: when 1) you have a fewer checkers on the game board; 2) all your chips have moved beyond your competitor’s checkers; or 3) the opponent does not employ the hitting or blocking plan.
The Blocking Game Technique
The primary goal of the blocking strategy, by the name, is to stop the competitor’s pieces, temporarily, while not worrying about moving your chips rapidly. Once you’ve created the blockade for your opponent’s movement with a couple of pieces, you can shift your other checkers rapidly off the board. You will need to also have a good plan when to withdraw and move the pieces that you used for the blockade. The game becomes interesting when the competitor uses the same blocking tactic.
