The Running Game Tactic
The aim of the Running Game strategy is to entice all your pieces into your inside board and bear them off as quickly as you can. This strategy concentrates on the pace of moving your chips with absolutely no efforts to hit or stop your opponent’s pieces. The ideal scenario to employ this technique is when you believe you can move your own pieces faster than your opposing player does: when 1) you have a fewer pieces on the game board; 2) all your chips have moved beyond your competitor’s pieces; or 3) the opponent doesn’t employ the hitting or blocking technique.
The Blocking Game Plan
The main aim of the blocking technique, by its name, is to stop your opponent’s pieces, temporarily, not fretting about shifting your pieces rapidly. Once you have created the blockage for the opponent’s movement with a few pieces, you can shift your other chips quickly off the board. The player will need to also have an apparent strategy when to extract and move the chips that you utilized for blocking. The game gets interesting when your competitor uses the same blocking tactic.
