The goal of a Backgammon game is to move your pieces around the game board and get those pieces from the game board quicker than your competitor who works just as hard to do the same buthowever they move in the opposite direction. Succeeding in a game of Backgammon requires both strategy and luck. Just how far you can shift your chips is up to the numbers from tossing a pair of dice, and how you shift your checkers are determined by your overall gambling strategies. Enthusiasts use a few techniques in the different stages of a match based on your positions and opponent’s.
The Running Game Technique
The aim of the Running Game plan is to entice all your checkers into your inner board and get them off as fast as you could. This technique focuses on the pace of moving your checkers with little or no efforts to hit or barricade your competitor’s chips. The ideal scenario to employ this technique is when you believe you might be able to move your own chips a lot faster than your opposing player does: when 1) you have less chips on the board; 2) all your chips have moved beyond your competitor’s pieces; or 3) the opposing player does not employ the hitting or blocking plan.
The Blocking Game Technique
The main aim of the blocking tactic, by its name, is to block the opponent’s pieces, temporarily, not fretting about shifting your pieces quickly. Once you have established the blockade for your competitor’s movement with a few checkers, you can shift your other pieces rapidly from the board. The player should also have a good plan when to extract and move the chips that you used for blocking. The game becomes intriguing when the opposition uses the same blocking strategy.
