The aim of a Backgammon match is to shift your pieces around the game board and pull them from the board faster than your competitor who works just as hard to attempt the same buthowever they move in the opposite direction. Winning a match of Backgammon requires both tactics and fortune. How far you can shift your chips is left to the numbers from tossing a pair of dice, and just how you move your pieces are determined by your overall playing techniques. Enthusiasts use differing plans in the differing stages of a match depending on your positions and opponent’s.
The Running Game Strategy
The goal of the Running Game plan is to bring all your chips into your inside board and pull them off as quick as you could. This plan concentrates on the pace of moving your chips with little or no time spent to hit or block your opponent’s checkers. The ideal time to use this plan is when you believe you can move your own checkers quicker than the opposing player does: when 1) you have less chips on the game board; 2) all your pieces have moved beyond your competitor’s chips; or 3) the opponent does not use the hitting or blocking tactic.
The Blocking Game Tactic
The primary goal of the blocking tactic, by its title, is to stop your competitor’s chips, temporarily, not worrying about moving your pieces rapidly. After you have established the barrier for your competitor’s movement with a few chips, you can move your other chips swiftly off the game board. You really should also have a good plan when to withdraw and move the pieces that you used for blocking. The game gets intriguing when your opponent utilizes the same blocking tactic.
