The objective of a Backgammon match is to shift your pieces around the Backgammon board and bear them off the board quicker than your competitor who works just as hard to attempt the same buthowever they move in the opposing direction. Winning a round in Backgammon requires both strategy and fortune. Just how far you can shift your checkers is up to the numbers from rolling a pair of dice, and the way you shift your pieces are determined by your overall gambling plans. Enthusiasts use differing techniques in the different parts of a game dependent on your positions and opponent’s.
The Running Game Plan
The aim of the Running Game technique is to entice all your checkers into your inner board and get them off as quick as you can. This technique focuses on the pace of advancing your chips with little or no time spent to hit or barricade your competitor’s pieces. The best time to use this tactic is when you believe you can shift your own checkers a lot faster than your opponent does: when 1) you have a fewer pieces on the game board; 2) all your checkers have moved beyond your competitor’s chips; or 3) the opponent doesn’t employ the hitting or blocking strategy.
The Blocking Game Tactic
The main aim of the blocking tactic, by its name, is to block the competitor’s chips, temporarily, not worrying about moving your chips quickly. After you’ve created the barrier for your opponent’s movement with a couple of checkers, you can shift your other chips rapidly from the game board. You really should also have an apparent plan when to back off and shift the pieces that you utilized for blocking. The game becomes intriguing when your competitor uses the same blocking technique.
