The objective of a Backgammon match is to move your chips around the Backgammon board and get them from the game board quicker than your challenger who works harder to do the same buthowever they move in the opposing direction. Succeeding in a round of Backgammon requires both tactics and fortune. Just how far you will be able to move your chips is left to the numbers from rolling a pair of dice, and just how you shift your pieces are determined by your overall playing plans. Players use different plans in the different parts of a match based on your positions and opponent’s.
The Running Game Plan
The goal of the Running Game strategy is to entice all your chips into your inner board and pull them off as quick as you could. This plan concentrates on the pace of advancing your checkers with no efforts to hit or stop your opponent’s checkers. The ideal scenario to employ this plan is when you believe you might be able to shift your own checkers a lot faster than your opposing player does: when 1) you have a fewer pieces on the game board; 2) all your checkers have past your competitor’s checkers; or 3) your opponent does not use the hitting or blocking strategy.
The Blocking Game Plan
The main aim of the blocking plan, by its name, is to block your opponent’s chips, temporarily, while not worrying about shifting your chips rapidly. As soon as you have created the barrier for the competitor’s movement with a couple of pieces, you can shift your other checkers rapidly from the game board. You really should also have a clear strategy when to back off and shift the pieces that you used for blocking. The game becomes intriguing when your competitor uses the same blocking tactic.
