The objective of a Backgammon game is to move your chips around the game board and pull those pieces from the board quicker than your opponent who works just as hard to do the same buthowever they move in the opposite direction. Winning a game of Backgammon requires both tactics and luck. How far you can move your chips is left to the numbers from rolling the dice, and the way you shift your pieces are determined by your overall playing techniques. Players use a number of techniques in the different stages of a game depending on your positions and opponent’s.
The Running Game Strategy
The aim of the Running Game strategy is to entice all your chips into your inside board and pull them off as fast as you can. This technique focuses on the pace of moving your checkers with little or no time spent to hit or barricade your competitor’s checkers. The ideal time to employ this tactic is when you think you might be able to shift your own chips a lot faster than the opposition does: when 1) you have less checkers on the game board; 2) all your chips have moved beyond your opponent’s pieces; or 3) the opponent doesn’t use the hitting or blocking technique.
The Blocking Game Technique
The primary aim of the blocking tactic, by the title, is to block your opponent’s pieces, temporarily, while not fretting about moving your pieces rapidly. After you’ve established the blockade for your competitor’s movement with a couple of chips, you can move your other pieces swiftly off the game board. The player should also have a good plan when to extract and move the checkers that you employed for the blockade. The game gets intriguing when the competitor utilizes the same blocking strategy.
