The goal of a Backgammon match is to move your pieces around the game board and get those pieces off the board quicker than your challenger who works just as hard to do the same buthowever they move in the opposing direction. Succeeding in a match of Backgammon requires both strategy and fortune. How far you will be able to move your chips is up to the numbers from rolling the dice, and just how you move your chips are decided on by your overall playing techniques. Enthusiasts use a few tactics in the different stages of a game depending on your positions and opponent’s.
The Running Game Strategy
The aim of the Running Game tactic is to entice all your pieces into your inner board and get them off as quickly as you could. This technique focuses on the pace of shifting your chips with little or no efforts to hit or block your opponent’s pieces. The ideal scenario to use this technique is when you believe you can shift your own checkers quicker than the opposition does: when 1) you have less checkers on the game board; 2) all your pieces have moved beyond your competitor’s pieces; or 3) the opposing player doesn’t employ the hitting or blocking plan.
The Blocking Game Technique
The main goal of the blocking tactic, by its title, is to block your opponent’s pieces, temporarily, not fretting about moving your checkers rapidly. Once you have established the barrier for your competitor’s movement with a couple of pieces, you can shift your other pieces rapidly from the game board. The player should also have an apparent strategy when to withdraw and move the checkers that you used for the blockade. The game becomes interesting when your opposition uses the same blocking strategy.
