The goal of a Backgammon match is to shift your checkers around the Backgammon board and get those pieces off the game board quicker than your opponent who works just as hard to attempt the same buthowever they move in the opposing direction. Winning a match in Backgammon requires both tactics and fortune. Just how far you will be able to move your chips is up to the numbers from rolling the dice, and the way you shift your pieces are decided on by your overall playing techniques. Players use different plans in the differing stages of a match depending on your positions and opponent’s.
The Running Game Tactic
The aim of the Running Game technique is to entice all your pieces into your inside board and bear them off as fast as you can. This technique concentrates on the pace of moving your chips with no efforts to hit or stop your competitor’s checkers. The ideal time to employ this tactic is when you think you might be able to move your own chips a lot faster than the opponent does: when 1) you have a fewer pieces on the game board; 2) all your pieces have past your opponent’s chips; or 3) the opponent does not employ the hitting or blocking technique.
The Blocking Game Technique
The primary aim of the blocking tactic, by its title, is to stop your opponent’s chips, temporarily, not fretting about shifting your pieces quickly. After you have created the barrier for the competitor’s movement with a couple of pieces, you can shift your other checkers rapidly from the game board. The player should also have a good plan when to extract and move the chips that you used for the blockade. The game gets interesting when the opposition utilizes the same blocking tactic.
