The objective of a Backgammon match is to move your checkers around the game board and bear those pieces off the board faster 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 good luck. How far you can move your pieces is left to the numbers from tossing a pair of dice, and how you shift your pieces are decided on by your overall gambling strategies. Enthusiasts use a number of strategies in the different stages of a match depending on your positions and opponent’s.
The Running Game Tactic
The aim of the Running Game strategy is to entice all your chips into your inner board and bear them off as quickly as you can. This plan concentrates on the pace of shifting your checkers with no time spent to hit or stop your opponent’s pieces. The best scenario to employ this plan is when you think you might be able to shift your own chips a lot faster than your opposition does: when 1) you have less pieces on the board; 2) all your checkers have moved beyond your opponent’s checkers; or 3) your opponent does not employ the hitting or blocking tactic.
The Blocking Game Technique
The primary aim of the blocking strategy, by the title, is to block the opponent’s checkers, temporarily, not worrying about moving your chips rapidly. After you have established the blockage for the competitor’s movement with a few chips, you can move your other chips rapidly from the board. You should also have an apparent plan when to back off and shift the checkers that you employed for the blockade. The game gets interesting when the opposition utilizes the same blocking technique.
