The objective of a Backgammon game is to shift your chips around the game board and pull them from the board quicker than your challenger who works just as hard to do the same buthowever they move in the opposing direction. Winning a game in Backgammon requires both strategy and fortune. Just how far you will be able to shift your pieces is up to the numbers from tossing a pair of dice, and how you move your checkers are decided on by your overall playing techniques. Players use differing techniques in the different parts of a game depending on your positions and opponent’s.
The Running Game Technique
The aim of the Running Game strategy is to bring all your chips into your inside board and bear them off as quick as you can. This tactic focuses on the speed of advancing your pieces with no efforts to hit or stop your competitor’s checkers. The best time to use this technique is when you think you might be able to move your own pieces quicker than the opponent does: when 1) you have a fewer pieces on the board; 2) all your pieces have moved beyond your competitor’s pieces; or 3) the opponent does not employ the hitting or blocking strategy.
The Blocking Game Technique
The main goal of the blocking plan, by the name, is to block the competitor’s pieces, temporarily, not worrying about shifting your checkers rapidly. As soon as you’ve created the barrier for the opponent’s movement with a few pieces, you can shift your other chips rapidly off the game board. You will need to also have a good strategy when to withdraw and move the pieces that you used for the blockade. The game gets interesting when the opponent utilizes the same blocking technique.
