Thursday, 14. September 2023
The objective of a Backgammon match is to shift your checkers around the game board and get those pieces off the game board quicker than your competitor who works just as hard to attempt the same buthowever they move in the opposite direction. Winning a match in Backgammon needsrequires both tactics and good luck. Just how far you can shift your checkers is left to the numbers from tossing a pair of dice, and how you shift your chips are decided on by your overall playing strategies. Players use a few tactics in the differing stages of a match depending on your positions and opponent’s.
The Running Game Technique
The goal of the Running Game tactic is to bring all your chips into your inner board and pull them off as fast as you can. This plan focuses on the pace of moving your chips with no efforts to hit or stop your competitor’s pieces. The ideal time to use this plan is when you think you can shift your own pieces quicker than the opposition does: when 1) you have less checkers on the game board; 2) all your checkers have moved beyond your competitor’s pieces; or 3) the opposing player does not employ the hitting or blocking strategy.
The Blocking Game Strategy
The primary aim of the blocking tactic, by its title, is to stop your opponent’s checkers, temporarily, while not worrying about moving your checkers quickly. After you have established the barrier for your opponent’s movement with a couple of chips, you can move your other pieces rapidly off the board. You should also have a good plan when to withdraw and shift the pieces that you used for the blockade. The game gets interesting when the opponent utilizes the same blocking strategy.
