The objective of a Backgammon match is to shift your chips around the Backgammon board and pull them off the board faster than your opponent who works harder to achieve the same buthowever they move in the opposing direction. Succeeding in a match in Backgammon needsrequires both strategy and luck. How far you will be able to shift your pieces is left to the numbers from rolling the dice, and how you shift your chips are determined by your overall playing plans. Players use different strategies in the differing stages of a game based on your positions and opponent’s.
The Running Game Plan
The goal of the Running Game plan is to bring all your chips into your home board and pull them off as fast as you can. This tactic focuses on the pace of advancing your pieces with little or no efforts to hit or block your opponent’s pieces. The best scenario to use this strategy is when you think you can shift your own checkers a lot faster than your opposing player does: when 1) you have a fewer pieces on the game board; 2) all your pieces have moved beyond your opponent’s chips; or 3) your opposing player doesn’t use the hitting or blocking strategy.
The Blocking Game Tactic
The main aim of the blocking plan, by its title, is to block your competitor’s chips, temporarily, while not worrying about shifting your checkers quickly. As soon as you have created the blockage for your competitor’s movement with a few chips, you can shift your other pieces quickly from the board. The player should also have a clear plan when to extract and shift the pieces that you used for blocking. The game becomes interesting when your competitor uses the same blocking strategy.
