The goal of a Backgammon game is to move your pieces around the Backgammon board and bear them from the game board faster than your opponent who works just as hard to attempt the same buthowever they move in the opposite direction. Winning a round of Backgammon requires both strategy and good luck. How far you will be able to move your chips is left to the numbers from rolling the dice, and how you shift your chips are determined by your overall playing tactics. Players use different techniques in the differing stages of a match based on your positions and opponent’s.
The Running Game Technique
The aim of the Running Game tactic is to lure all your checkers into your inner board and pull them off as fast as you could. This technique focuses on the pace of advancing your chips with little or no time spent to hit or barricade your opponent’s chips. The best time to use this plan is when you believe you can shift your own checkers faster than your opposing player does: when 1) you have less pieces on the board; 2) all your checkers have moved beyond your opponent’s checkers; or 3) your opposing player doesn’t employ the hitting or blocking strategy.
The Blocking Game Strategy
The primary aim of the blocking plan, by its title, is to block your competitor’s chips, temporarily, while not worrying about shifting your checkers rapidly. Once you’ve established the blockade for your opponent’s movement with a few checkers, you can shift your other pieces rapidly from the game board. You really should also have a clear plan when to back off and shift the pieces that you used for blocking. The game becomes intriguing when the competitor utilizes the same blocking technique.
