The objective of a Backgammon match is to shift your chips around the game board and get them from the game board faster than your competitor who works just as hard to do the same buthowever they move in the opposite direction. Winning a match of Backgammon needsrequires both tactics and fortune. How far you can shift your chips is left to the numbers from rolling the dice, and the way you move your pieces are determined by your overall playing plans. Players use a few techniques in the differing stages of a match depending on your positions and opponent’s.
The Running Game Strategy
The goal of the Running Game strategy is to lure all your chips into your inner board and bear them off as fast as you can. This strategy concentrates on the speed of moving your chips with little or no time spent to hit or block your opponent’s checkers. The best time to employ this tactic is when you think you might be able to move your own pieces quicker than your opponent does: when 1) you have a fewer chips on the game board; 2) all your chips have moved beyond your opponent’s checkers; or 3) the opponent does not use the hitting or blocking strategy.
The Blocking Game Plan
The main goal of the blocking plan, by the title, is to stop your competitor’s checkers, temporarily, not worrying about shifting your pieces quickly. As soon as you have established the barrier for your competitor’s movement with a couple of chips, you can move your other checkers quickly from the board. You should also have a good strategy when to withdraw and move the checkers that you employed for the blockade. The game becomes interesting when your opponent uses the same blocking tactic.
