The objective of a Backgammon game is to move your chips around the game board and get those pieces from the board faster than your competitor who works just as hard to achieve the same buthowever they move in the opposite direction. Winning a round of Backgammon requires both strategy and good luck. Just how far you can shift your chips is left to the numbers from rolling a pair of dice, and the way you shift your pieces are determined by your overall playing plans. Players use differing plans in the different stages of a match depending on your positions and opponent’s.
The Running Game Technique
The aim of the Running Game plan is to lure all your checkers into your inside board and get them off as fast as you could. This technique concentrates on the pace of shifting your checkers with absolutely no efforts to hit or stop your competitor’s pieces. The best time to use this plan is when you think you can move your own checkers quicker than your opposition does: when 1) you have less chips on the game board; 2) all your chips have moved beyond your competitor’s chips; or 3) your opposing player does not employ the hitting or blocking plan.
The Blocking Game Technique
The main aim of the blocking plan, by the name, is to block the opponent’s checkers, temporarily, not fretting about shifting your chips quickly. Once you’ve created the blockage for your competitor’s movement with a few chips, you can move your other checkers swiftly from the game board. The player should also have a good strategy when to withdraw and shift the chips that you used for blocking. The game gets intriguing when the opponent uses the same blocking strategy.
