The aim of a Backgammon match is to move your pieces around the game board and bear them off the game board faster than your opposing player who works harder to do the same buthowever they move in the opposite direction. Succeeding in a match in Backgammon requires both strategy and fortune. How far you will be able to shift your chips is up to the numbers from rolling the dice, and the way you move your chips are decided on by your overall playing strategies. Players use a few tactics in the different parts of a match dependent on your positions and opponent’s.
The Running Game Plan
The goal of the Running Game plan is to lure all your chips into your inner board and bear them off as quick as you can. This plan concentrates on the pace of moving your checkers with no efforts to hit or barricade your opponent’s pieces. The ideal time to use this tactic is when you think you might be able to move your own checkers quicker than your opponent does: when 1) you have less checkers on the board; 2) all your chips have moved beyond your opponent’s chips; or 3) your opposing player doesn’t employ the hitting or blocking tactic.
The Blocking Game Strategy
The main aim of the blocking technique, by its title, is to block your opponent’s checkers, temporarily, not fretting about shifting your checkers rapidly. As soon as you have established the barrier for your competitor’s movement with a couple of checkers, you can move your other pieces quickly off the board. You really should also have a good strategy when to withdraw and move the chips that you used for the blockade. The game becomes interesting when your opponent uses the same blocking tactic.
