The aim of a Backgammon match is to move your pieces around the game board and pull them off the board faster than your challenger who works harder to do the same buthowever they move in the opposing direction. Winning a round in Backgammon needsrequires both tactics and good luck. Just how far you will be able to shift your checkers is left to the numbers from rolling a pair of dice, and how you move your checkers are determined by your overall playing techniques. Players use a few plans in the different parts of a match based on your positions and opponent’s.
The Running Game Plan
The goal of the Running Game tactic is to lure all your chips into your inside board and get them off as quick as you can. This technique concentrates on the speed of moving your chips with absolutely no efforts to hit or stop your opponent’s chips. The best scenario to use this tactic is when you think you can shift your own checkers faster than your opposing player does: when 1) you have a fewer checkers on the board; 2) all your checkers have moved beyond your opponent’s pieces; or 3) the opponent doesn’t employ the hitting or blocking technique.
The Blocking Game Plan
The main goal of the blocking tactic, by the name, is to block the opponent’s chips, temporarily, not worrying about moving your checkers rapidly. Once you’ve established the barrier for the opponent’s movement with a few pieces, you can shift your other pieces rapidly from the board. The player will need to also have an apparent strategy when to extract and move the chips that you utilized for blocking. The game gets intriguing when your opponent uses the same blocking tactic.
