The objective of a Backgammon match is to move your checkers around the game board and bear them off the board quicker than your opposing player who works just as hard to do the same buthowever they move in the opposite direction. Winning a match in Backgammon requires both strategy and fortune. Just how far you will be able to shift your pieces is up to the numbers from rolling the dice, and the way you shift your checkers are decided on by your overall playing strategies. Enthusiasts use different strategies in the differing parts of a game dependent on your positions and opponent’s.
The Running Game Plan
The aim of the Running Game tactic is to bring all your checkers into your inside board and get them off as quickly as you could. This plan concentrates on the speed of advancing your checkers with no time spent to hit or stop your competitor’s checkers. The ideal scenario to employ this tactic is when you believe you might be able to shift your own checkers quicker than your opponent does: when 1) you have less pieces on the game board; 2) all your checkers have moved beyond your opponent’s checkers; or 3) your opposing player does not use the hitting or blocking technique.
The Blocking Game Tactic
The primary goal of the blocking strategy, by the name, is to block the competitor’s chips, temporarily, while not fretting about shifting your checkers rapidly. As soon as you have established the blockage for the competitor’s movement with a few checkers, you can move your other chips rapidly off the board. You should also have a clear strategy when to withdraw and shift the pieces that you utilized for the blockade. The game becomes interesting when your opposition uses the same blocking strategy.
