Winning a match in Backgammon needsrequires both tactics and fortune. How far you will be able to shift your chips is left to the numbers from rolling the dice, and just how you shift your checkers are determined by your overall playing strategies. Enthusiasts use a few plans in the different stages of a match based on your positions and opponent’s.
The Running Game Plan
The goal of the Running Game tactic is to bring all your chips into your home board and get them off as fast as you could. This tactic concentrates on the pace of advancing your pieces with no efforts to hit or stop your competitor’s checkers. The ideal time to employ this tactic is when you believe you might be able to move your own chips faster than the opposing player does: when 1) you have less chips on the board; 2) all your pieces have moved beyond your competitor’s pieces; or 3) the opposing player does not use the hitting or blocking technique.
The Blocking Game Tactic
The primary aim of the blocking tactic, by the title, is to stop your competitor’s chips, temporarily, not worrying about shifting your pieces rapidly. After you have established the barrier for the competitor’s movement with a few checkers, you can move your other pieces quickly from the game board. The player should also have a clear strategy when to extract and move the chips that you used for blocking. The game gets interesting when your opponent utilizes the same blocking technique.
