Succeeding in a match in Backgammon needsrequires both strategy and fortune. How far you can shift your checkers is left to the numbers from rolling a pair of dice, and the way you shift your chips are decided on by your overall playing tactics. Enthusiasts use different techniques in the differing parts of a game dependent on your positions and opponent’s.
The Running Game Strategy
The aim of the Running Game strategy is to lure all your chips into your inside board and bear them off as quickly as you could. This tactic concentrates on the speed of advancing your pieces with little or no efforts to hit or stop your competitor’s checkers. The ideal time to use this strategy is when you believe you might be able to shift your own pieces a lot faster than your opponent does: when 1) you have a fewer chips on the board; 2) all your pieces have past your competitor’s checkers; or 3) your opponent doesn’t employ the hitting or blocking plan.
The Blocking Game Tactic
The primary goal of the blocking plan, by the name, is to block your opponent’s pieces, temporarily, while not worrying about shifting your chips quickly. After you’ve established the barrier for the opponent’s movement with a couple of chips, you can move your other chips swiftly off the game board. The player should also have a good strategy when to back off and shift the chips that you used for the blockade. The game becomes interesting when the opponent uses the same blocking strategy.
