The aim of a Backgammon match is to move your checkers around the game board and get them off the board quicker than your opponent who works just as hard to attempt the same buthowever they move in the opposing direction. Winning a game in Backgammon requires both strategy and luck. Just how far you will be able to move your chips is left to the numbers from tossing the dice, and the way you move your pieces are decided on by your overall playing techniques. Enthusiasts use differing strategies in the different stages of a match depending on your positions and opponent’s.
The Running Game Strategy
The goal of the Running Game strategy is to entice all your pieces into your inside board and bear them off as quickly as you can. This technique concentrates on the pace of shifting your checkers with absolutely no efforts to hit or stop your competitor’s pieces. The ideal time to employ this tactic is when you think you can move your own chips faster than the opposition does: when 1) you have less chips on the board; 2) all your checkers have moved beyond your opponent’s pieces; or 3) your opponent doesn’t use the hitting or blocking tactic.
The Blocking Game Strategy
The primary goal of the blocking technique, by the title, is to stop the opponent’s chips, temporarily, not worrying about moving your checkers quickly. Once you’ve established the blockage for your opponent’s movement with a few chips, you can move your other pieces swiftly off the board. You will need to also have a clear strategy when to withdraw and move the checkers that you used for the blockade. The game becomes intriguing when the opposition utilizes the same blocking strategy.
