The aim of a Backgammon match is to shift your checkers around the game board and bear them off the game board quicker than your opponent who works harder to attempt the same buthowever they move in the opposite direction. Winning a round in Backgammon needsrequires both tactics and good luck. Just how far you can shift your chips is up to the numbers from rolling a pair of dice, and how you shift your checkers are decided on by your overall playing strategies. Players use a number of strategies in the differing parts of a game depending on your positions and opponent’s.
The Running Game Technique
The aim of the Running Game technique is to lure all your pieces into your inner board and get them off as quickly as you can. This tactic concentrates on the speed of advancing your checkers with no efforts to hit or block your competitor’s checkers. The best scenario to employ this plan is when you think you might be able to move your own checkers quicker than the opposition does: when 1) you have less chips on the game board; 2) all your checkers have past your competitor’s checkers; or 3) your opponent doesn’t use the hitting or blocking strategy.
The Blocking Game Tactic
The main goal of the blocking technique, by its title, is to block the competitor’s pieces, temporarily, while not worrying about shifting your pieces quickly. Once you’ve created the blockage for your competitor’s movement with a couple of pieces, you can shift your other pieces swiftly from the board. You will need to also have a good plan when to extract and shift the chips that you used for blocking. The game gets interesting when your opposition utilizes the same blocking tactic.
