The objective of a Backgammon match is to shift your pieces around the Backgammon board and pull them off the board faster than your opponent who works harder to do the same buthowever they move in the opposite direction. Winning a round in Backgammon requires both strategy and good luck. How far you can shift your pieces is left to the numbers from rolling a pair of dice, and just how you move your checkers are decided on by your overall playing plans. Players use a few tactics in the different stages of a match dependent on your positions and opponent’s.
The Running Game Technique
The goal of the Running Game plan is to bring all your pieces into your inside board and get them off as quick as you can. This technique focuses on the pace of moving your pieces with little or no efforts to hit or barricade your competitor’s chips. The best scenario to use this plan is when you believe you might be able to move your own chips a lot faster than your opponent does: when 1) you have a fewer pieces on the game board; 2) all your chips have past your competitor’s pieces; or 3) your opponent doesn’t use the hitting or blocking technique.
The Blocking Game Strategy
The primary goal of the blocking technique, by the name, is to stop your opponent’s chips, temporarily, not fretting about shifting your pieces quickly. After you’ve created the barrier for the competitor’s movement with a few checkers, you can move your other chips swiftly off the game board. You should also have a good strategy when to back off and shift the checkers that you utilized for blocking. The game becomes interesting when the competitor uses the same blocking tactic.
