The objective of a Backgammon match is to move your checkers around the game board and pull those pieces off the board quicker than your opposing player who works just as hard to do the same buthowever they move in the opposite direction. Succeeding in a match in Backgammon requires both strategy and luck. How far you can shift your pieces is up to the numbers from tossing the dice, and how you shift your checkers are determined by your overall playing plans. Enthusiasts use a few plans in the differing stages of a game 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 home board and bear them off as quickly as you could. This plan focuses on the pace of shifting your chips with absolutely no time spent to hit or block your competitor’s pieces. The ideal time to employ this strategy is when you think you might be able to shift your own chips a lot faster than the opponent does: when 1) you have a fewer pieces on the board; 2) all your chips have past your competitor’s chips; or 3) the opponent doesn’t employ the hitting or blocking technique.
The Blocking Game Tactic
The primary goal of the blocking plan, by the name, is to block your competitor’s checkers, temporarily, while not fretting about moving your pieces quickly. After you’ve created the barrier for the competitor’s movement with a few pieces, you can shift your other pieces rapidly off the game board. You will need to also have an apparent strategy when to back off and shift the chips that you used for the blockade. The game becomes intriguing when the opponent utilizes the same blocking technique.
