The aim of a Backgammon match is to shift your pieces around the Backgammon board and pull them from the game board faster than your challenger who works just as hard to attempt the same buthowever they move in the opposite direction. Winning a match in Backgammon requires both tactics and good luck. Just how far you will be able to shift your pieces is left to the numbers from tossing a pair of dice, and just how you move your checkers are determined by your overall gambling strategies. Enthusiasts use a number of strategies in the differing stages of a game based on your positions and opponent’s.
The Running Game Strategy
The goal of the Running Game plan is to bring all your checkers into your inner board and get them off as quick as you could. This plan concentrates on the speed of shifting your chips with no efforts to hit or block your competitor’s pieces. The best scenario to use this strategy is when you believe you can move your own pieces faster than the opponent does: when 1) you have less checkers on the game board; 2) all your pieces have past your competitor’s checkers; or 3) your opponent doesn’t use the hitting or blocking technique.
The Blocking Game Plan
The primary aim of the blocking strategy, by the title, is to stop the competitor’s chips, temporarily, not fretting about shifting your checkers quickly. As soon as you have established the blockage for the opponent’s movement with a couple of pieces, you can shift your other pieces swiftly from the game board. You should also have a good plan when to withdraw and shift the pieces that you used for the blockade. The game becomes interesting when your opposition uses the same blocking strategy.
