The goal of a Backgammon match is to shift your checkers around the Backgammon board and get those pieces off the game board quicker than your opposing player who works harder to achieve the same buthowever they move in the opposite direction. Winning a round of Backgammon needsrequires both strategy and fortune. Just how far you can shift your pieces is left to the numbers from tossing the dice, and just how you shift your chips are decided on by your overall playing strategies. Players use different techniques in the differing stages of a match based on your positions and opponent’s.
The Running Game Tactic
The aim of the Running Game strategy is to entice all your chips into your inner board and get them off as quick as you could. This plan concentrates on the speed of shifting your chips with absolutely no efforts to hit or stop your competitor’s checkers. The best scenario to employ this technique is when you think you might be able to shift your own chips quicker than the opposition does: when 1) you have a fewer chips on the game board; 2) all your checkers have past your competitor’s pieces; or 3) the opponent doesn’t use the hitting or blocking strategy.
The Blocking Game Technique
The primary aim of the blocking technique, by the title, is to block the opponent’s pieces, temporarily, not worrying about moving your chips quickly. Once you have established the blockage for the competitor’s movement with a few checkers, you can move your other chips quickly off the game board. You will need to also have a clear plan when to back off and move the chips that you used for blocking. The game gets intriguing when your competitor uses the same blocking strategy.
