The goal of a Backgammon match is to move your pieces around the game board and get them off the game board faster than your competitor who works just as hard to attempt the same buthowever they move in the opposing direction. Succeeding in a round of Backgammon requires both strategy and fortune. How far you will be able to shift your checkers is left to the numbers from rolling the dice, and how you move your checkers are decided on by your overall gambling tactics. Enthusiasts use differing strategies in the differing stages of a match based on your positions and opponent’s.
The Running Game Technique
The goal of the Running Game technique is to entice all your chips into your home board and get them off as quick as you could. This tactic focuses on the speed of advancing your chips with absolutely no time spent to hit or stop your competitor’s chips. The ideal time to use this tactic is when you believe you might be able to shift your own chips quicker than the opponent does: when 1) you have a fewer pieces on the board; 2) all your pieces have past your competitor’s chips; or 3) your opposing player doesn’t use the hitting or blocking plan.
The Blocking Game Strategy
The primary goal of the blocking tactic, by its name, is to stop the competitor’s pieces, temporarily, while not worrying about shifting your pieces quickly. Once you’ve established the blockade for the opponent’s movement with a couple of checkers, you can move your other chips quickly from the game board. The player will need to also have an apparent plan when to extract and shift the pieces that you utilized for the blockade. The game gets intriguing when your opponent utilizes the same blocking tactic.
