The objective of a Backgammon match is to move your checkers around the game board and bear those pieces off the game board quicker than your opponent who works harder to achieve the same buthowever they move in the opposite direction. Winning a round of Backgammon needsrequires both tactics and luck. Just how far you can shift your checkers is up to the numbers from rolling a pair of dice, and how you move your pieces are determined by your overall playing strategies. Enthusiasts use a few strategies in the differing parts of a match depending on your positions and opponent’s.
The Running Game Strategy
The aim of the Running Game technique is to entice all your checkers into your home board and pull them off as quickly as you could. This technique concentrates on the speed of advancing your checkers with little or no efforts to hit or stop your opponent’s chips. The best scenario to use this technique is when you think you might be able to move your own pieces quicker than the opponent does: when 1) you have a fewer pieces on the board; 2) all your checkers have past your competitor’s checkers; or 3) the opponent does not use the hitting or blocking strategy.
The Blocking Game Strategy
The primary goal of the blocking tactic, by the title, is to block your opponent’s checkers, temporarily, while not worrying about moving your checkers quickly. After you have established the blockade for your opponent’s movement with a few chips, you can move your other checkers swiftly off the game board. You should also have a clear strategy when to withdraw and move the checkers that you used for blocking. The game becomes interesting when the opposition utilizes the same blocking strategy.
