The aim of a Backgammon game is to shift your checkers around the game board and pull those pieces from the board quicker than your opposing player who works harder to do the same buthowever they move in the opposing direction. Succeeding in a match in Backgammon needsrequires both strategy and fortune. How far you will be able to move your chips is up to the numbers from rolling a pair of dice, and the way you move your pieces are determined by your overall playing plans. Players use different plans in the different parts of a game based on your positions and opponent’s.
The Running Game Strategy
The aim of the Running Game strategy is to lure all your pieces into your home board and pull them off as quick as you could. This plan concentrates on the speed of advancing your pieces with little or no efforts to hit or block your competitor’s chips. The best time to use this strategy is when you believe you might be able to shift your own chips a lot faster than the opposition does: when 1) you have a fewer checkers on the board; 2) all your pieces have moved beyond your opponent’s pieces; or 3) the opposing player doesn’t employ the hitting or blocking plan.
The Blocking Game Tactic
The primary goal of the blocking technique, by the name, is to block the competitor’s chips, temporarily, while not worrying about shifting your checkers rapidly. Once you have established the blockade for the competitor’s movement with a few checkers, you can shift your other chips quickly off the game board. You should also have an apparent plan when to withdraw and shift the pieces that you employed for blocking. The game becomes intriguing when your opposition utilizes the same blocking technique.
