The objective of a Backgammon match is to shift your chips around the game board and bear them from the board faster than your opponent who works harder to achieve the same buthowever they move in the opposite direction. Succeeding in a match in Backgammon requires both tactics and good luck. How far you will be able to shift your pieces is left to the numbers from tossing a pair of dice, and how you move your chips are decided on by your overall playing techniques. Players use differing tactics in the different stages of a game depending on your positions and opponent’s.
The Running Game Plan
The aim of the Running Game plan is to entice all your chips into your inner board and get them off as quick as you could. This plan concentrates on the pace of shifting your chips with little or no time spent to hit or stop your opponent’s chips. The best time to use this tactic is when you believe you can move your own pieces a lot faster than the opponent does: when 1) you have a fewer pieces on the board; 2) all your checkers have moved beyond your competitor’s chips; or 3) the opposing player does not employ the hitting or blocking technique.
The Blocking Game Technique
The main aim of the blocking plan, by the title, is to stop your competitor’s chips, temporarily, while not worrying about shifting your checkers quickly. After you’ve established the blockage for the opponent’s movement with a few pieces, you can shift your other checkers quickly off the board. The player will need to also have an apparent plan when to back off and move the checkers that you used for the blockade. The game becomes intriguing when the opposition uses the same blocking technique.
