The aim of a Backgammon match is to move your pieces around the Backgammon board and get those pieces from the game board quicker than your competitor who works just as hard to do the same buthowever they move in the opposing direction. Winning a game in Backgammon requires both strategy and fortune. Just how far you can move your checkers is up to the numbers from rolling a pair of dice, and just how you shift your checkers are decided on by your overall gambling techniques. Players use different plans in the different parts of a game depending on your positions and opponent’s.
The Running Game Plan
The aim of the Running Game tactic is to lure all your checkers into your home board and pull them off as quick as you can. This tactic focuses on the pace of advancing your pieces with absolutely no efforts to hit or barricade your competitor’s chips. The ideal time to use this strategy is when you think you can shift your own pieces quicker than the opposition does: when 1) you have less chips on the board; 2) all your pieces have past your opponent’s checkers; or 3) the opponent doesn’t employ the hitting or blocking tactic.
The Blocking Game Technique
The primary goal of the blocking tactic, by the title, is to stop the opponent’s checkers, temporarily, not worrying about shifting your checkers quickly. As soon as you have created the barrier for the opponent’s movement with a few pieces, you can move your other pieces rapidly off the game board. You should also have a clear plan when to back off and shift the chips that you used for the blockade. The game gets interesting when the opposition uses the same blocking tactic.
