The aim of a Backgammon match is to shift your chips around the game board and get them off the board faster than your opposing player who works harder to do the same buthowever they move in the opposing direction. Succeeding in a match in Backgammon requires both tactics and good luck. Just how far you will be able to shift your checkers is left to the numbers from rolling the dice, and the way you shift your checkers are decided on by your overall playing strategies. Enthusiasts use differing tactics in the different parts of a game depending on your positions and opponent’s.
The Running Game Tactic
The aim of the Running Game strategy is to lure all your pieces into your home board and get them off as fast as you can. This technique concentrates on the pace of moving your pieces with absolutely no time spent to hit or block your opponent’s chips. The ideal time to employ this strategy is when you think you might be able to move your own chips quicker than your opposing player does: when 1) you have less checkers on the board; 2) all your checkers have past your competitor’s pieces; or 3) your opposing player does not use the hitting or blocking plan.
The Blocking Game Strategy
The main aim of the blocking strategy, by its title, is to stop your competitor’s pieces, temporarily, while not worrying about shifting your pieces quickly. As soon as you’ve established the blockage for the competitor’s movement with a few pieces, you can move your other chips rapidly off the game board. You really should also have a good plan when to back off and move the chips that you used for the blockade. The game becomes intriguing when your competitor uses the same blocking tactic.
