The goal of a Backgammon game is to shift your checkers around the game board and get those pieces from the board quicker than your competitor who works just as hard to attempt the same buthowever they move in the opposite direction. Succeeding in a game of Backgammon needsrequires both tactics and luck. Just how far you will be able to move your chips is left to the numbers from rolling a pair of dice, and just how you shift your checkers are determined by your overall playing plans. Players use a few strategies in the differing stages of a match depending on your positions and opponent’s.
The Running Game Tactic
The goal of the Running Game tactic is to lure all your pieces into your inner board and get them off as fast as you could. This strategy concentrates on the speed of shifting your pieces with little or no time spent to hit or stop your opponent’s chips. The ideal time to employ this plan is when you think you can shift your own pieces quicker than the opposing player does: when 1) you have a fewer pieces on the game board; 2) all your chips have past your competitor’s chips; or 3) your opposing player doesn’t use the hitting or blocking tactic.
The Blocking Game Strategy
The primary aim of the blocking plan, by the name, is to block your competitor’s chips, temporarily, not fretting about shifting your checkers rapidly. After you have established the blockage for your opponent’s movement with a couple of pieces, you can move your other pieces rapidly from the game board. The player will need to also have an apparent strategy when to back off and move the pieces that you used for the blockade. The game becomes intriguing when the opposition uses the same blocking technique.
