The aim of a Backgammon match is to shift your pieces around the game board and pull them off the board faster than your opposing player who works just as hard to achieve the same buthowever they move in the opposite direction. Succeeding in a round in Backgammon requires both strategy and fortune. How far you can move your pieces is up to the numbers from tossing a pair of dice, and how you shift your pieces are determined by your overall gambling techniques. Enthusiasts use a few tactics in the differing parts of a match based on your positions and opponent’s.
The Running Game Strategy
The goal of the Running Game strategy is to entice all your pieces into your inner board and pull them off as quick as you could. This plan concentrates on the pace of advancing your chips with little or no time spent to hit or stop your competitor’s chips. The best time to use this technique is when you think you can move your own checkers a lot faster than the opposition does: when 1) you have a fewer chips on the board; 2) all your chips have past your opponent’s pieces; or 3) your opposing player doesn’t use the hitting or blocking strategy.
The Blocking Game Plan
The primary goal of the blocking strategy, by the title, is to block your competitor’s chips, temporarily, while not worrying about moving your chips rapidly. As soon as you have established the blockade for your opponent’s movement with a few pieces, you can move your other pieces rapidly off the board. The player really should also have an apparent plan when to withdraw and shift the checkers that you employed for the blockade. The game becomes interesting when your competitor uses the same blocking strategy.
