The aim of a Backgammon match is to move your checkers around the game board and pull them off the game board faster than your opponent who works just as hard to achieve the same buthowever they move in the opposite direction. Succeeding in a round of Backgammon requires both tactics and fortune. Just how far you can move your pieces is up to the numbers from tossing the dice, and the way you shift your pieces are decided on by your overall playing techniques. Players use a number of plans in the different parts of a match depending on your positions and opponent’s.
The Running Game Technique
The aim of the Running Game plan is to lure all your checkers into your inner board and pull them off as fast as you can. This strategy focuses on the speed of shifting your pieces with absolutely no efforts to hit or block your opponent’s pieces. The best scenario to use this technique is when you think you can move your own chips a lot faster than the opposing player does: when 1) you have less checkers on the board; 2) all your chips have moved beyond your competitor’s checkers; or 3) your opposing player doesn’t employ the hitting or blocking plan.
The Blocking Game Technique
The main aim of the blocking tactic, by its title, is to block the competitor’s checkers, temporarily, not fretting about shifting your chips rapidly. Once you have created the barrier for your opponent’s movement with a couple of pieces, you can shift your other chips quickly from the game board. The player should also have a good plan when to withdraw and move the checkers that you utilized for the blockade. The game gets interesting when your opponent uses the same blocking technique.
