The objective of a Backgammon match is to move your checkers around the Backgammon board and get them from the game board quicker than your competitor who works harder to achieve the same buthowever they move in the opposing direction. Succeeding in a game in Backgammon requires both strategy and luck. Just how far you will be able to shift your checkers is left to the numbers from tossing a pair of dice, and the way you move your checkers are decided on by your overall gambling tactics. Enthusiasts use a few plans in the different parts of a game dependent on your positions and opponent’s.
The Running Game Plan
The goal of the Running Game plan is to lure all your pieces into your inside board and get them off as fast as you can. This plan focuses on the speed of advancing your pieces with little or no efforts to hit or barricade your opponent’s checkers. The best scenario to employ this technique is when you believe you might be able to move your own checkers faster than the opponent does: when 1) you have a fewer pieces on the game board; 2) all your pieces have moved beyond your competitor’s chips; or 3) the opposing player does not employ the hitting or blocking strategy.
The Blocking Game Plan
The primary goal of the blocking strategy, by its title, is to stop the opponent’s pieces, temporarily, while not worrying about moving your pieces rapidly. After you’ve established the barrier for the opponent’s movement with a few pieces, you can move your other checkers quickly off the game board. The player really should also have an apparent plan when to withdraw and move the pieces that you used for blocking. The game gets interesting when your competitor utilizes the same blocking tactic.
