The aim of a Backgammon game is to shift your chips around the Backgammon board and pull those pieces from the board quicker than your opponent who works just as hard to do the same buthowever they move in the opposing direction. Winning a round in Backgammon requires both tactics and good luck. Just how far you can shift your chips is up to the numbers from tossing a pair of dice, and how you move your chips are decided on by your overall playing plans. Players use differing strategies in the different stages of a match based on your positions and opponent’s.
The Running Game Plan
The goal of the Running Game tactic is to entice all your chips into your home board and get them off as quickly as you could. This plan concentrates on the pace of shifting your pieces with little or no efforts to hit or block your opponent’s chips. The best time to employ this strategy is when you think you can shift your own pieces a lot faster than your opposition does: when 1) you have a fewer chips on the board; 2) all your chips have past your competitor’s chips; or 3) your opponent doesn’t employ the hitting or blocking technique.
The Blocking Game Plan
The main goal of the blocking technique, by the title, is to stop your opponent’s checkers, temporarily, not fretting about moving your pieces quickly. After you’ve established the blockage for your competitor’s movement with a couple of pieces, you can shift your other checkers swiftly off the game board. You really should also have a good strategy when to back off and move the checkers that you used for blocking. The game becomes interesting when the opposition uses the same blocking tactic.
