The objective of a Backgammon game is to shift your pieces around the Backgammon board and get them off the game board faster than your opponent who works harder to achieve the same buthowever they move in the opposing direction. Winning a game of Backgammon requires both strategy and fortune. How far you will be able to shift your chips is up to the numbers from rolling the dice, and how you move your chips are decided on by your overall gambling techniques. Players use a number of strategies in the differing stages of a match based on your positions and opponent’s.
The Running Game Strategy
The goal of the Running Game strategy is to bring all your pieces into your inside board and get them off as fast as you could. This technique concentrates on the pace of advancing your chips with absolutely no efforts to hit or block your opponent’s pieces. The ideal time to employ this strategy is when you think you might be able to move your own pieces a lot faster than your opponent does: when 1) you have less chips on the game board; 2) all your pieces have moved beyond your opponent’s chips; or 3) the opponent doesn’t use the hitting or blocking plan.
The Blocking Game Plan
The primary goal of the blocking tactic, by its name, is to stop your opponent’s chips, temporarily, not worrying about moving your pieces rapidly. As soon as you have established the barrier for the opponent’s movement with a few chips, you can shift your other checkers rapidly off the game board. You should also have a clear plan when to back off and move the chips that you employed for blocking. The game gets intriguing when the opponent uses the same blocking technique.
