The aim of a Backgammon match is to shift your checkers around the Backgammon board and bear them off the game board quicker than your opponent who works harder to achieve the same buthowever they move in the opposing direction. Succeeding in a game in Backgammon needsrequires both tactics and fortune. How far you will be able to shift your chips is left to the numbers from rolling a pair of dice, and the way you move your pieces are determined by your overall playing tactics. Enthusiasts use different plans in the differing parts of a match depending on your positions and opponent’s.
The Running Game Strategy
The aim of the Running Game technique is to bring all your pieces into your inside board and get them off as quickly as you can. This plan concentrates on the speed of moving your pieces with little or no efforts to hit or block your opponent’s pieces. The ideal scenario to employ this plan is when you believe you can move your own chips quicker than your opposition does: when 1) you have less pieces on the board; 2) all your pieces have moved beyond your opponent’s chips; or 3) the opponent doesn’t employ the hitting or blocking strategy.
The Blocking Game Tactic
The primary goal of the blocking tactic, by the title, is to stop the opponent’s pieces, temporarily, not worrying about shifting your pieces rapidly. As soon as you have established the blockade for your opponent’s movement with a few checkers, you can shift your other pieces rapidly from the game board. The player should also have a good strategy when to extract and move the pieces that you used for blocking. The game becomes intriguing when the competitor uses the same blocking strategy.
