The objective of a Backgammon match is to shift your checkers around the Backgammon board and get them off the board quicker than your opponent who works harder to do the same buthowever they move in the opposite direction. Succeeding in a game of Backgammon requires both strategy and fortune. How far you will be able to shift your checkers is left to the numbers from tossing a pair of dice, and how you shift your checkers are decided on by your overall gambling strategies. Players use a few strategies in the differing parts of a game based on your positions and opponent’s.
The Running Game Technique
The goal of the Running Game technique is to entice all your checkers into your inside board and bear them off as fast as you can. This technique concentrates on the speed of advancing your chips with little or no time spent to hit or block your competitor’s pieces. The best time to use this strategy is when you think you can shift your own checkers a lot faster than the opposing player does: when 1) you have a fewer checkers on the board; 2) all your pieces have moved beyond your opponent’s checkers; or 3) your opponent doesn’t use the hitting or blocking plan.
The Blocking Game Plan
The primary aim of the blocking technique, by the title, is to stop your competitor’s pieces, temporarily, not worrying about moving your checkers quickly. As soon as you’ve established the blockage for the competitor’s movement with a couple of pieces, you can move your other chips rapidly from the board. The player will need to also have a good plan when to withdraw and shift the pieces that you utilized for the blockade. The game gets intriguing when your opponent uses the same blocking technique.
