The aim of a Backgammon game is to shift your chips around the Backgammon board and pull them from the game board quicker than your competitor who works harder to attempt the same buthowever they move in the opposing direction. Succeeding in a game in Backgammon requires both strategy and fortune. Just how far you can shift your chips is up to the numbers from tossing a pair of dice, and how you shift your checkers are determined by your overall playing plans. Players use a number of strategies in the differing parts of a game depending on your positions and opponent’s.
The Running Game Technique
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 can. This technique concentrates on the pace of moving your chips with little or no time spent to hit or barricade your opponent’s pieces. The best time to use this strategy is when you believe you might be able to move your own pieces faster than the opposing player does: when 1) you have less pieces on the game board; 2) all your chips have past your opponent’s chips; or 3) your opponent does not use the hitting or blocking plan.
The Blocking Game Strategy
The primary goal of the blocking plan, by its name, is to stop the opponent’s checkers, temporarily, not worrying about moving your checkers quickly. Once you’ve created the blockage for your competitor’s movement with a few chips, you can shift your other chips rapidly off the board. You really should also have an apparent strategy when to extract and move the pieces that you utilized for the blockade. The game gets interesting when the opponent utilizes the same blocking technique.
