The objective of a Backgammon game is to shift your chips around the Backgammon board and get them off the game board faster than your opponent who works harder to do the same buthowever they move in the opposite direction. Succeeding in a game of Backgammon requires both tactics and fortune. How far you can shift your chips is left to the numbers from rolling a pair of dice, and the way you shift your checkers are decided on by your overall playing strategies. Enthusiasts use a number of plans in the different parts of a match depending on your positions and opponent’s.
The Running Game Plan
The aim of the Running Game technique is to lure all your chips into your inner board and pull them off as fast as you could. This technique concentrates on the pace of advancing your pieces with no time spent to hit or block your competitor’s checkers. The best scenario to use this tactic is when you believe you might be able to move your own pieces a lot faster than your opposition does: when 1) you have less checkers on the game board; 2) all your pieces have past your opponent’s chips; or 3) the opposing player doesn’t employ the hitting or blocking tactic.
The Blocking Game Strategy
The primary goal of the blocking strategy, by the name, is to block your opponent’s chips, temporarily, not worrying about shifting your checkers rapidly. Once you’ve created the blockade for your competitor’s movement with a couple of chips, you can move your other checkers quickly from the game board. You should also have a clear strategy when to extract and move the chips that you utilized for the blockade. The game becomes interesting when your competitor uses the same blocking tactic.
