The objective of a Backgammon match is to move your pieces around the Backgammon board and bear them off the board faster than your competitor who works harder to achieve the same buthowever they move in the opposite direction. Succeeding in a match in Backgammon requires both tactics and good luck. Just how far you will be able to shift your chips is up to the numbers from rolling the dice, and how you move your checkers are decided on by your overall playing techniques. Players use a few techniques in the differing stages of a match based on your positions and opponent’s.
The Running Game Plan
The goal of the Running Game plan is to entice all your checkers into your inner board and bear them off as fast as you can. This technique concentrates on the speed of advancing your chips with little or no time spent to hit or stop your opponent’s chips. The ideal scenario to use this strategy is when you think 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 past your opponent’s chips; or 3) your opponent does not use the hitting or blocking plan.
The Blocking Game Strategy
The main aim of the blocking technique, by the name, is to stop your competitor’s chips, temporarily, while not worrying about shifting your pieces quickly. After you have created the blockage for the opponent’s movement with a few chips, you can move your other chips rapidly off the game board. You will need to also have a good plan when to extract and move the checkers that you used for blocking. The game gets intriguing when your opposition uses the same blocking strategy.
