The aim of a Backgammon game is to move your pieces around the Backgammon board and get them off the board quicker than your challenger who works just as hard to achieve the same buthowever they move in the opposing direction. Succeeding in a match in Backgammon requires both tactics and luck. Just how far you will be able to shift your pieces is left to the numbers from tossing a pair of dice, and how you move your checkers are decided on by your overall playing tactics. Enthusiasts use a few plans in the different stages of a game dependent on your positions and opponent’s.
The Running Game Plan
The aim of the Running Game technique is to bring all your checkers into your inside board and bear them off as quickly as you can. This plan focuses on the speed of moving your checkers with no efforts to hit or block your opponent’s chips. The ideal time to employ this plan is when you believe you can shift your own pieces faster than the opponent does: when 1) you have less checkers on the board; 2) all your checkers have past your opponent’s chips; or 3) your opponent doesn’t employ the hitting or blocking strategy.
The Blocking Game Technique
The primary aim of the blocking plan, by the name, is to block the opponent’s pieces, temporarily, while not worrying about moving your chips quickly. After you have established the blockage for your competitor’s movement with a couple of checkers, you can move your other chips swiftly off the game board. You will need to also have an apparent plan when to back off and shift the chips that you used for blocking. The game gets interesting when the opponent uses the same blocking technique.
