The aim of a Backgammon match is to shift your chips around the game board and get those pieces off the board faster than your competitor who works just as hard to do the same buthowever they move in the opposing direction. Succeeding in a match of Backgammon requires both strategy and good luck. Just how far you can move your chips is up to the numbers from tossing a pair of dice, and how you move your checkers are decided on by your overall playing plans. Enthusiasts use a number of tactics in the different parts of a game based on your positions and opponent’s.
The Running Game Strategy
The aim of the Running Game strategy is to bring all your pieces into your inner board and pull them off as quick as you can. This strategy focuses on the speed of moving your checkers with absolutely no time spent to hit or barricade your opponent’s checkers. The ideal scenario to employ this strategy is when you believe you can move your own pieces quicker than the opposition does: when 1) you have a fewer pieces on the game board; 2) all your checkers have past your competitor’s checkers; or 3) the opponent does not use the hitting or blocking technique.
The Blocking Game Technique
The main aim of the blocking technique, by its title, is to stop the opponent’s checkers, temporarily, while not worrying about moving your checkers quickly. As soon as you have created the blockade for the competitor’s movement with a couple of pieces, you can shift your other chips swiftly off the game board. You should also have an apparent plan when to back off and move the checkers that you employed for blocking. The game becomes interesting when your opposition uses the same blocking technique.
