The objective of a Backgammon match is to move your checkers around the game board and bear them from the board faster than your challenger who works harder to do the same buthowever they move in the opposite direction. Winning a match of Backgammon requires both tactics and good luck. Just how far you will be able to move your checkers is up to the numbers from rolling a pair of dice, and the way you shift your chips are decided on by your overall playing strategies. Enthusiasts use different strategies in the different stages of a game based on your positions and opponent’s.
The Running Game Plan
The goal of the Running Game strategy is to bring all your chips into your home board and pull them off as quick as you can. This strategy focuses on the speed of advancing your chips with absolutely no time spent to hit or barricade your competitor’s chips. The best scenario to employ this plan is when you believe you can move your own pieces quicker than the opposing player does: when 1) you have a fewer pieces on the game board; 2) all your checkers have moved beyond your opponent’s chips; or 3) your opponent doesn’t employ the hitting or blocking tactic.
The Blocking Game Technique
The primary goal of the blocking tactic, by the title, is to stop the competitor’s chips, temporarily, while not worrying about moving your pieces quickly. As soon as you have created the blockade for the competitor’s movement with a few chips, you can shift your other chips swiftly from the board. You should also have a clear strategy when to back off and shift the checkers that you employed for the blockade. The game becomes intriguing when the opponent uses the same blocking strategy.
