The aim of a Backgammon match is to move your checkers around the game board and bear those pieces from the board faster than your opposing player who works just as hard to do the same buthowever they move in the opposite direction. Winning a match of Backgammon needsrequires both strategy and good luck. Just how far you can shift your checkers is left to the numbers from rolling a pair of dice, and how you move your pieces are decided on by your overall gambling strategies. Enthusiasts use a number of strategies in the differing parts of a match depending on your positions and opponent’s.
The Running Game Technique
The aim of the Running Game tactic is to entice all your pieces into your home board and bear them off as quick as you can. This strategy focuses on the speed of moving your pieces with little or no time spent to hit or block your opponent’s chips. The best scenario to employ this tactic is when you think you can move your own chips quicker than your opponent does: when 1) you have a fewer chips on the game board; 2) all your checkers have moved beyond your opponent’s checkers; or 3) your opponent does not use the hitting or blocking tactic.
The Blocking Game Plan
The primary aim of the blocking tactic, by the title, is to block your opponent’s chips, temporarily, while not fretting about moving your chips quickly. As soon as you have established the blockade for your competitor’s movement with a few checkers, you can move your other pieces rapidly off the board. You really should also have a good strategy when to back off and shift the checkers that you used for blocking. The game becomes interesting when your competitor uses the same blocking tactic.
