The goal of a Backgammon game is to move your chips around the game board and pull those pieces from the game board quicker than your opposing player who works harder to do the same buthowever they move in the opposing direction. Winning a round of Backgammon requires both strategy and fortune. Just how far you will be able to move your chips is up to the numbers from tossing the dice, and just how you move your checkers are decided on by your overall playing tactics. Enthusiasts use a few plans in the different stages of a match depending on your positions and opponent’s.
The Running Game Strategy
The goal of the Running Game plan is to entice all your checkers into your inside board and bear them off as quickly as you could. This tactic concentrates on the speed of moving your chips with no efforts to hit or block your competitor’s chips. The best scenario to use this plan is when you believe you might be able to move your own pieces quicker than the opposition does: when 1) you have less chips on the game board; 2) all your checkers have past your competitor’s chips; or 3) your opposing player doesn’t use the hitting or blocking tactic.
The Blocking Game Plan
The main aim of the blocking tactic, by the title, is to block your competitor’s pieces, temporarily, not worrying about shifting your checkers quickly. Once you have established the blockage for the competitor’s movement with a couple of checkers, you can move your other pieces rapidly from the board. You will need to also have a good plan when to withdraw and shift the pieces that you employed for the blockade. The game becomes interesting when your opposition uses the same blocking strategy.
