The objective of a Backgammon game is to move your pieces around the game board and get those pieces off the board quicker than your opposing player who works just as hard to do the same buthowever they move in the opposing direction. Succeeding in a match in Backgammon needsrequires both tactics and luck. Just how far you can shift your pieces is left to the numbers from tossing a pair of dice, and how you shift your chips are decided on by your overall playing techniques. Enthusiasts use different strategies in the differing stages of a game depending on your positions and opponent’s.
The Running Game Plan
The aim of the Running Game plan is to lure all your checkers into your inner board and get them off as fast as you could. This tactic focuses on the speed of moving your chips with little or no time spent to hit or block your opponent’s chips. The ideal time to employ this technique is when you think you can shift your own chips a lot faster than the opposing player does: when 1) you have less checkers on the board; 2) all your pieces have moved beyond your competitor’s pieces; or 3) the opponent does not employ the hitting or blocking technique.
The Blocking Game Plan
The main aim of the blocking technique, by its name, is to stop your opponent’s checkers, temporarily, while not worrying about shifting your checkers rapidly. As soon as you’ve created the blockade for the opponent’s movement with a few checkers, you can move your other chips rapidly from the board. The player should also have a clear plan when to extract and move the checkers that you employed for blocking. The game becomes interesting when your competitor uses the same blocking strategy.
