The aim of a Backgammon match is to shift your chips around the Backgammon board and bear them off the board quicker than your challenger who works harder to do the same buthowever they move in the opposite direction. Winning a match in Backgammon requires both strategy and good luck. Just how far you can shift your checkers is left to the numbers from rolling a pair of dice, and just how you shift your checkers are determined by your overall playing techniques. Players use a number of strategies in the differing parts of a match based on your positions and opponent’s.
The Running Game Plan
The goal of the Running Game technique is to lure all your checkers into your home board and pull them off as fast as you could. This tactic concentrates on the speed of moving your pieces with no efforts to hit or stop your opponent’s checkers. The ideal time to employ this plan is when you think you might be able to shift your own chips quicker than your opponent does: when 1) you have less pieces on the game board; 2) all your chips have moved beyond your competitor’s checkers; or 3) your opponent doesn’t use the hitting or blocking plan.
The Blocking Game Plan
The main goal of the blocking strategy, by its name, is to stop your competitor’s pieces, temporarily, not worrying about shifting your pieces rapidly. As soon as you have established the blockade for your opponent’s movement with a couple of pieces, you can shift your other checkers rapidly from the board. The player will need to also have a good plan when to extract and shift the checkers that you utilized for the blockade. The game becomes interesting when your opposition uses the same blocking technique.
