The goal of a Backgammon game is to move your checkers around the Backgammon board and bear them off the game board faster than your challenger who works just as hard to achieve the same buthowever they move in the opposing direction. Succeeding in a round of Backgammon needsrequires both tactics and luck. Just how far you can move your chips is left to the numbers from tossing a pair of dice, and just how you shift your chips are decided on by your overall playing techniques. Players use different strategies in the different parts of a match dependent on your positions and opponent’s.
The Running Game Plan
The goal of the Running Game tactic is to entice all your checkers into your home board and pull them off as fast as you could. This technique focuses on the pace of advancing your pieces with little or no efforts to hit or barricade your opponent’s pieces. The ideal scenario to use this strategy is when you believe you might be able to move your own pieces faster than the opponent does: when 1) you have less pieces on the game board; 2) all your pieces have moved beyond your opponent’s chips; or 3) the opposing player does not employ the hitting or blocking tactic.
The Blocking Game Technique
The main goal of the blocking technique, by its name, is to block the opponent’s pieces, temporarily, not worrying about shifting your chips rapidly. Once you’ve established the barrier for the competitor’s movement with a few pieces, you can shift your other checkers rapidly from the board. You will need to also have a good strategy when to extract and shift the checkers that you used for the blockade. The game becomes interesting when the opponent utilizes the same blocking tactic.
