The objective of a Backgammon match is to move your pieces around the Backgammon board and get them from the board faster than your competitor who works just as hard to do the same buthowever they move in the opposing direction. Succeeding in a game of Backgammon needsrequires both strategy and fortune. Just how far you can shift your pieces is up to the numbers from rolling a pair of dice, and the way you shift your pieces are decided on by your overall playing tactics. Players use differing strategies in the differing stages of a match depending on your positions and opponent’s.
The Running Game Strategy
The aim of the Running Game tactic is to entice all your chips into your inner board and get them off as quickly as you can. This tactic concentrates on the pace of advancing your checkers with little or no efforts to hit or barricade your competitor’s chips. The ideal scenario to employ this plan is when you believe you might be able to move your own pieces quicker than the opposing player does: when 1) you have a fewer chips on the board; 2) all your pieces have moved beyond your competitor’s pieces; or 3) your opponent does not use the hitting or blocking tactic.
The Blocking Game Tactic
The primary goal of the blocking tactic, by the name, is to block the opponent’s pieces, temporarily, while not fretting about shifting your checkers rapidly. Once you have established the blockade for the competitor’s movement with a few pieces, you can shift your other checkers rapidly off the board. You will need to also have a good plan when to back off and shift the chips that you used for blocking. The game becomes intriguing when the competitor utilizes the same blocking strategy.
