The aim of a Backgammon game is to shift your checkers around the Backgammon board and bear those pieces off the board faster than your challenger who works harder to achieve the same buthowever they move in the opposing direction. Winning a match of Backgammon requires both tactics and good luck. Just how far you can move your pieces is up to the numbers from tossing a pair of dice, and the way you move your pieces are decided on by your overall playing tactics. Enthusiasts use differing strategies in the different parts of a game depending on your positions and opponent’s.
The Running Game Plan
The goal of the Running Game strategy is to bring all your checkers into your inside board and get them off as fast as you can. This technique focuses on the pace of shifting your checkers with little or no efforts to hit or stop your competitor’s checkers. The best time to employ this strategy is when you think you can move your own checkers quicker than the opposition does: when 1) you have less checkers on the board; 2) all your chips have moved beyond your competitor’s checkers; or 3) your opposing player does not employ the hitting or blocking tactic.
The Blocking Game Plan
The primary aim of the blocking technique, by the name, is to block your competitor’s pieces, temporarily, not fretting about shifting your pieces quickly. Once you’ve created the blockade for your opponent’s movement with a few pieces, you can shift your other pieces rapidly from the game board. The player will need to also have an apparent plan when to back off and move the pieces that you employed for the blockade. The game becomes intriguing when the opposition utilizes the same blocking tactic.
