The objective of a Backgammon match is to shift your chips around the Backgammon board and bear them off the board faster than your competitor who works just as hard to attempt the same buthowever they move in the opposing direction. Winning a match of Backgammon requires both tactics and good luck. How far you will be able to move your chips is up to the numbers from tossing a pair of dice, and how you shift your checkers are decided on by your overall gambling tactics. Enthusiasts use a number of strategies in the different stages of a match depending on your positions and opponent’s.
The Running Game Strategy
The aim of the Running Game plan is to lure all your pieces into your inside board and get them off as quickly as you can. This technique concentrates on the pace of shifting your checkers with little or no efforts to hit or stop your opponent’s pieces. The best scenario to employ this strategy is when you believe you might be able to shift your own chips a lot faster than the opposing player does: when 1) you have a fewer checkers on the board; 2) all your chips have past your opponent’s pieces; or 3) the opponent does not use the hitting or blocking tactic.
The Blocking Game Plan
The primary goal of the blocking strategy, by its name, is to stop the opponent’s pieces, temporarily, while not worrying about shifting your pieces rapidly. Once you’ve created the blockage for the opponent’s movement with a few chips, you can move your other checkers swiftly off the game board. You should also have a good strategy when to extract and shift the pieces that you utilized for blocking. The game gets interesting when the competitor uses the same blocking technique.
