The objective of a Backgammon match is to shift your checkers around the game board and get them off the board quicker than your opponent who works harder to attempt the same buthowever they move in the opposing direction. Winning a game of Backgammon requires both strategy and good luck. Just how far you will be able to shift your checkers is left to the numbers from tossing the dice, and just how you move your chips are determined by your overall playing techniques. Players use differing tactics in the differing parts of a match based on your positions and opponent’s.
The Running Game Technique
The goal of the Running Game tactic is to bring all your checkers into your inner board and get them off as fast as you could. This plan concentrates on the pace of moving your pieces with little or no time spent to hit or block your competitor’s checkers. The best scenario to employ this strategy is when you think you can move your own chips a lot faster than your opposing player does: when 1) you have less checkers on the board; 2) all your chips have past your opponent’s pieces; or 3) your opposing player doesn’t employ the hitting or blocking tactic.
The Blocking Game Plan
The primary goal of the blocking tactic, by the name, is to block the opponent’s pieces, temporarily, not fretting about shifting your pieces quickly. Once you have established the blockade for your competitor’s movement with a few chips, you can shift your other chips quickly off the game board. The player will need to also have an apparent strategy when to withdraw and shift the checkers that you employed for the blockade. The game gets intriguing when the competitor utilizes the same blocking technique.
