The objective of a Backgammon match is to shift your chips around the Backgammon board and get those pieces from the game board faster than your competitor who works harder to do the same buthowever they move in the opposing direction. Winning a game in Backgammon requires both strategy and fortune. How far you can shift your checkers is up to the numbers from rolling a pair of dice, and the way you shift your chips are decided on by your overall playing strategies. Enthusiasts use different tactics in the different stages of a match depending on your positions and opponent’s.
The Running Game Plan
The goal of the Running Game technique is to lure all your chips into your home board and pull them off as quick as you can. This technique concentrates on the speed of advancing your checkers with little or no efforts to hit or stop your opponent’s pieces. The ideal scenario to employ this strategy is when you think you can move your own chips faster than the opponent does: when 1) you have less pieces on the game board; 2) all your pieces have moved beyond your opponent’s checkers; or 3) your opposing player does not use the hitting or blocking strategy.
The Blocking Game Plan
The primary goal of the blocking plan, by its name, is to block the competitor’s checkers, temporarily, not worrying about shifting your pieces quickly. Once you’ve established the blockage for the opponent’s movement with a couple of pieces, you can shift your other pieces quickly from the game board. You will need to also have a clear strategy when to extract and shift the pieces that you utilized for the blockade. The game becomes intriguing when your competitor utilizes the same blocking technique.
