The aim of a Backgammon match is to shift your pieces around the Backgammon board and bear them off the game board quicker than your competitor who works just as hard to attempt the same buthowever they move in the opposite direction. Succeeding in a game of Backgammon requires both tactics and fortune. How far you can move your chips is left to the numbers from tossing a pair of dice, and how you move your chips are decided on by your overall playing strategies. Players use a few techniques in the different parts of a match dependent on your positions and opponent’s.
The Running Game Tactic
The goal of the Running Game technique is to lure all your pieces into your inside board and pull them off as quick as you can. This strategy focuses on the speed of moving your checkers with little or no efforts to hit or block your competitor’s chips. The best time to use this plan is when you think you might be able to move your own checkers a lot faster than the opposing player does: when 1) you have less chips on the board; 2) all your chips have past your opponent’s chips; or 3) your opponent does not employ the hitting or blocking technique.
The Blocking Game Plan
The main aim of the blocking plan, by the title, is to stop the competitor’s pieces, temporarily, while not worrying about shifting your checkers rapidly. After you’ve established the barrier for your opponent’s movement with a few checkers, you can shift your other chips quickly from the game board. The player will need to also have a clear strategy when to back off and move the pieces that you employed for blocking. The game becomes interesting when the opponent uses the same blocking technique.
