The objective of a Backgammon match is to shift your chips around the Backgammon board and get those pieces from the board faster than your challenger who works just as hard to attempt the same buthowever they move in the opposite direction. Succeeding in a match in Backgammon requires both tactics and luck. How far you can shift your checkers is left to the numbers from rolling the dice, and how you move your chips are decided on by your overall playing tactics. Players use differing tactics in the differing parts of a game depending on your positions and opponent’s.
The Running Game Plan
The goal of the Running Game technique is to entice all your pieces into your home board and pull them off as quickly as you can. This tactic concentrates on the pace of moving your pieces with little or no time spent to hit or barricade your opponent’s checkers. The ideal scenario to employ this plan is when you believe you can shift your own checkers quicker than your opposition does: when 1) you have a fewer pieces on the game board; 2) all your checkers have moved beyond your opponent’s pieces; or 3) the opposing player does not employ the hitting or blocking strategy.
The Blocking Game Plan
The primary goal of the blocking plan, by its title, is to stop the competitor’s pieces, temporarily, while not worrying about moving your checkers rapidly. After you’ve created the blockade for your opponent’s movement with a couple of pieces, you can move your other chips rapidly off the board. You really should also have an apparent strategy when to back off and move the chips that you used for the blockade. The game becomes interesting when your competitor uses the same blocking technique.
