The goal of a Backgammon game is to move your pieces around the Backgammon board and bear those pieces off the game board quicker than your opposing player who works harder to do the same buthowever they move in the opposite direction. Winning a match in Backgammon requires both tactics and fortune. Just how far you can move your checkers is up to the numbers from rolling a pair of dice, and the way you move your checkers are determined by your overall gambling plans. Players use different strategies in the different stages of a game based on your positions and opponent’s.
The Running Game Tactic
The aim of the Running Game tactic is to entice all your chips into your inside board and get them off as quick as you can. This strategy focuses on the pace of shifting your chips with absolutely no time spent to hit or barricade your competitor’s checkers. The best scenario to employ this plan is when you believe you can shift your own pieces a lot faster than the opposition does: when 1) you have a fewer checkers on the game board; 2) all your checkers have moved beyond your opponent’s checkers; or 3) the opposing player doesn’t use the hitting or blocking technique.
The Blocking Game Technique
The primary aim of the blocking technique, by the title, is to stop the competitor’s checkers, temporarily, not worrying about shifting your checkers quickly. As soon as you have established the blockade for your competitor’s movement with a few pieces, you can move your other pieces quickly from the board. The player should also have a clear plan when to withdraw and shift the chips that you used for blocking. The game gets intriguing when the competitor uses the same blocking strategy.
