The aim of a Backgammon match is to move your pieces around the Backgammon board and get those pieces from the board quicker than your challenger who works just as hard to do the same buthowever they move in the opposite direction. Winning a match in Backgammon needsrequires both tactics and luck. Just how far you will be able to move your chips is up to the numbers from tossing a pair of dice, and the way you shift your chips are decided on by your overall playing plans. Players use different strategies in the differing parts of a match depending on your positions and opponent’s.
The Running Game Plan
The aim of the Running Game plan is to entice all your pieces into your inner board and get them off as fast as you can. This strategy focuses on the speed of shifting your pieces with absolutely no time spent to hit or barricade your competitor’s chips. The ideal time to use this strategy is when you think you might be able to move your own checkers faster than the opponent does: when 1) you have a fewer checkers on the game board; 2) all your pieces have moved beyond your competitor’s checkers; or 3) your opposing player doesn’t employ the hitting or blocking plan.
The Blocking Game Tactic
The primary aim of the blocking tactic, by the name, is to stop the competitor’s checkers, temporarily, while not fretting about moving your chips quickly. As soon as you have established the blockage for the opponent’s movement with a few chips, you can shift your other chips swiftly off the board. The player should also have an apparent plan when to withdraw and move the checkers that you used for blocking. The game gets interesting when your competitor utilizes the same blocking technique.
