The goal of a Backgammon game is to shift your chips around the game board and get those pieces off the board quicker than your challenger who works just as hard to do the same buthowever they move in the opposing direction. Winning a match of Backgammon requires both tactics and luck. How far you can move your chips is left to the numbers from tossing a pair of dice, and just how you move your pieces are determined by your overall gambling techniques. Players use a number of strategies in the different stages of a game dependent on your positions and opponent’s.
The Running Game Technique
The aim of the Running Game technique is to entice all your checkers into your home board and bear them off as fast as you can. This plan focuses on the speed of shifting your chips with little or no efforts to hit or stop your competitor’s chips. The best scenario to use this strategy is when you think you might be able to move your own pieces a lot faster than your opposing player does: when 1) you have less pieces on the game board; 2) all your chips have moved beyond your competitor’s chips; or 3) the opposing player doesn’t employ the hitting or blocking tactic.
The Blocking Game Technique
The primary goal of the blocking plan, by the title, is to stop the competitor’s chips, temporarily, not fretting about shifting your chips quickly. After you have established the barrier for the opponent’s movement with a few pieces, you can move your other pieces swiftly off the board. You should also have an apparent strategy when to withdraw and shift the pieces that you used for blocking. The game gets interesting when the opposition uses the same blocking strategy.
