The aim of a Backgammon game is to move your checkers around the Backgammon board and bear them off the board quicker than your opponent who works harder to achieve the same buthowever they move in the opposing direction. Succeeding in a game of Backgammon needsrequires both tactics and luck. How far you can shift your pieces is left to the numbers from tossing a pair of dice, and how you move your checkers are decided on by your overall playing tactics. Enthusiasts use a few plans in the different parts of a match depending on your positions and opponent’s.
The Running Game Technique
The goal of the Running Game tactic is to bring all your pieces into your inner board and pull them off as fast as you can. This technique focuses on the pace of moving your checkers with little or no efforts to hit or barricade your opponent’s chips. The best time to employ this plan is when you think you might be able to shift your own checkers faster than your opposing player does: when 1) you have less checkers on the board; 2) all your pieces have moved beyond your opponent’s chips; or 3) the opponent doesn’t employ the hitting or blocking plan.
The Blocking Game Plan
The primary aim of the blocking plan, by its name, is to stop the opponent’s chips, temporarily, not fretting about moving your checkers rapidly. Once you have established the blockage for the opponent’s movement with a couple of checkers, you can shift your other pieces swiftly off the board. You should also have a clear strategy when to withdraw and move the pieces that you used for the blockade. The game gets interesting when your competitor uses the same blocking strategy.
