The aim of a Backgammon game is to move your checkers around the game board and pull them off the board quicker than your opponent who works just as hard to achieve the same buthowever they move in the opposing direction. Succeeding in a match of Backgammon requires both strategy and fortune. How far you will be able to move your pieces is left to the numbers from rolling the dice, and just how you move your checkers are determined by your overall gambling strategies. Enthusiasts use a number of plans in the different stages of a match dependent on your positions and opponent’s.
The Running Game Technique
The aim of the Running Game technique is to entice all your checkers into your inner board and bear them off as quickly as you could. This strategy concentrates on the pace of shifting your checkers with absolutely no efforts to hit or block your opponent’s chips. The best time to employ this tactic is when you believe you might be able to move your own pieces faster than the opposing player does: when 1) you have less checkers on the board; 2) all your chips have moved beyond your competitor’s chips; or 3) your opposing player does not use the hitting or blocking tactic.
The Blocking Game Technique
The main aim of the blocking technique, by its name, is to block the competitor’s checkers, temporarily, not fretting about shifting your chips rapidly. As soon as you’ve created the blockade for the opponent’s movement with a couple of chips, you can shift your other pieces quickly from the game board. The player should also have a good plan when to extract and move the checkers that you used for the blockade. The game becomes interesting when your opponent utilizes the same blocking technique.
