The goal of a Backgammon match is to move your checkers around the Backgammon board and get those pieces from the board quicker than your competitor who works harder to achieve the same buthowever they move in the opposite direction. Winning a match in Backgammon requires both strategy and luck. Just how far you can shift your pieces is left to the numbers from rolling a pair of dice, and how you move your checkers are decided on by your overall gambling tactics. Enthusiasts use a few tactics in the different stages of a game depending on your positions and opponent’s.
The Running Game Strategy
The aim of the Running Game tactic is to entice all your pieces into your inner board and pull them off as quickly as you could. This tactic concentrates on the pace of advancing your chips with absolutely no efforts to hit or barricade your competitor’s checkers. The best scenario to use this strategy is when you think you can shift your own pieces a lot faster than the opponent does: when 1) you have less checkers on the board; 2) all your pieces have moved beyond your opponent’s chips; or 3) your opposing player does not employ the hitting or blocking plan.
The Blocking Game Strategy
The primary goal of the blocking plan, by its title, is to stop your opponent’s pieces, temporarily, while not fretting about shifting your chips rapidly. As soon as you have established the barrier for your competitor’s movement with a couple of chips, you can shift your other checkers quickly off the board. You really should also have a good plan when to withdraw and shift the checkers that you used for blocking. The game gets interesting when your competitor utilizes the same blocking tactic.
