The aim of a Backgammon game is to shift your checkers around the Backgammon board and bear them off the board faster than your opposing player who works just as hard to do the same buthowever they move in the opposing direction. Winning a match of Backgammon needsrequires both strategy and fortune. Just how far you will be able to shift your pieces is up to the numbers from rolling a pair of dice, and how you move your pieces are determined by your overall playing plans. Players use different plans in the different parts of a match dependent on your positions and opponent’s.
The Running Game Tactic
The aim of the Running Game tactic is to bring all your chips into your home board and bear them off as quickly as you could. This strategy focuses on the speed of moving your chips with absolutely no time spent to hit or block your opponent’s pieces. The ideal time to employ this tactic is when you believe you might be able to shift your own pieces quicker than your opposition does: when 1) you have less chips on the board; 2) all your chips have past your competitor’s chips; or 3) your opponent does not use the hitting or blocking plan.
The Blocking Game Strategy
The main aim of the blocking tactic, by the title, is to stop your opponent’s checkers, temporarily, while not worrying about shifting your pieces quickly. After you’ve created the blockade for your opponent’s movement with a few pieces, you can shift your other chips swiftly from the board. The player should also have an apparent strategy when to extract and shift the chips that you utilized for the blockade. The game becomes interesting when your competitor utilizes the same blocking strategy.
