The objective of a Backgammon match is to shift your pieces around the Backgammon board and get them from the board faster than your opponent who works just as hard to attempt the same buthowever they move in the opposite direction. Succeeding in a round in Backgammon requires both tactics and luck. Just how far you will be able to move your checkers is up to the numbers from tossing the dice, and the way you shift your checkers are decided on by your overall playing strategies. Players use differing tactics in the different parts of a game depending on your positions and opponent’s.
The Running Game Technique
The aim of the Running Game strategy is to entice all your checkers into your home board and bear them off as quick as you can. This strategy focuses on the pace of shifting your pieces with absolutely no efforts to hit or block your competitor’s chips. The ideal time to employ this plan is when you believe you can shift your own checkers faster than the opposition does: when 1) you have less checkers on the board; 2) all your chips have moved beyond your opponent’s checkers; or 3) your opponent doesn’t use the hitting or blocking plan.
The Blocking Game Plan
The main aim of the blocking tactic, by its title, is to stop the opponent’s chips, temporarily, while not worrying about moving your pieces rapidly. Once you’ve created the blockade for your opponent’s movement with a couple of checkers, you can move your other chips rapidly off the game board. The player will need to also have a clear strategy when to back off and move the checkers that you used for the blockade. The game becomes intriguing when your opposition utilizes the same blocking tactic.
