The objective of a Backgammon match is to move your pieces around the Backgammon board and bear those pieces from the board faster than your competitor who works just as hard to achieve the same buthowever they move in the opposing direction. Succeeding in a game of Backgammon needsrequires both tactics and fortune. Just how far you can shift your pieces is up to the numbers from rolling a pair of dice, and just how you move your checkers are decided on by your overall playing plans. Enthusiasts use different techniques in the different stages of a match depending on your positions and opponent’s.
The Running Game Technique
The goal of the Running Game technique is to lure all your chips into your home board and pull them off as fast as you could. This tactic concentrates on the speed of moving your pieces with absolutely no time spent to hit or block your competitor’s chips. The best time to employ this strategy is when you believe you might be able to shift your own checkers faster than your opponent does: when 1) you have less checkers on the game board; 2) all your chips have moved beyond your opponent’s chips; or 3) your opposing player doesn’t employ the hitting or blocking tactic.
The Blocking Game Plan
The primary goal of the blocking strategy, by the title, is to stop the competitor’s checkers, temporarily, while not fretting about shifting your pieces quickly. After you have created the blockage for your opponent’s movement with a few pieces, you can move your other checkers quickly off the board. You really should also have a good plan when to back off and shift the chips that you used for blocking. The game becomes interesting when the competitor utilizes the same blocking strategy.
