The objective of a Backgammon game is to move your pieces around the Backgammon board and get those pieces off the board faster than your competitor who works harder to do the same buthowever they move in the opposite direction. Winning a game in Backgammon requires both strategy and fortune. How far you can move your checkers is up to the numbers from rolling a pair of dice, and the way you shift your checkers are decided on by your overall playing techniques. Enthusiasts use a number of plans in the differing stages of a match dependent on your positions and opponent’s.
The Running Game Tactic
The goal of the Running Game plan is to bring all your checkers into your home board and pull them off as quickly as you could. This technique focuses on the speed of moving your checkers with little or no efforts to hit or stop your competitor’s pieces. The ideal scenario to employ this strategy is when you think you can shift your own chips faster than your opponent does: when 1) you have a fewer chips on the game board; 2) all your checkers have moved beyond your opponent’s checkers; or 3) your opposing player doesn’t employ the hitting or blocking technique.
The Blocking Game Technique
The primary aim of the blocking tactic, by the name, is to block the competitor’s chips, temporarily, while not worrying about moving your chips rapidly. After you’ve created the barrier for your competitor’s movement with a couple of pieces, you can shift your other pieces rapidly off the board. You should also have an apparent plan when to extract and move the checkers that you utilized for blocking. The game becomes interesting when your opponent utilizes the same blocking tactic.
