The aim of a Backgammon match is to move your chips around the Backgammon board and pull those pieces off the game board quicker than your opponent who works harder to attempt the same buthowever they move in the opposite direction. Succeeding in a match of Backgammon requires both strategy and luck. Just how far you will be able to move your checkers is up to the numbers from rolling a pair of dice, and how you shift your checkers are determined by your overall playing plans. Players use different tactics in the differing parts of a game depending on your positions and opponent’s.
The Running Game Strategy
The aim of the Running Game technique is to entice all your pieces into your inner board and pull them off as fast as you could. This tactic focuses on the speed of moving your checkers with absolutely no time spent to hit or barricade your opponent’s checkers. The ideal time to use this tactic is when you believe you might be able to shift your own chips quicker than your opposing player does: when 1) you have a fewer checkers on the game board; 2) all your pieces have past your opponent’s checkers; or 3) the opponent doesn’t use the hitting or blocking tactic.
The Blocking Game Plan
The primary aim of the blocking tactic, by the name, is to block your opponent’s chips, temporarily, while not fretting about shifting your pieces quickly. Once you’ve created the blockage for your opponent’s movement with a few pieces, you can shift your other pieces quickly off the game board. The player should also have an apparent strategy when to back off and move the pieces that you employed for blocking. The game becomes intriguing when your opponent utilizes the same blocking strategy.
