The goal of a Backgammon game is to move your pieces around the Backgammon board and bear them off the board quicker than your opposing player who works harder to achieve the same buthowever they move in the opposite direction. Winning a round in Backgammon requires both strategy and luck. How far you can move your checkers is up to the numbers from rolling the dice, and just how you move your chips are determined by your overall playing techniques. Enthusiasts use a number of tactics in the different stages of a match dependent on your positions and opponent’s.
The Running Game Tactic
The goal of the Running Game technique is to bring all your pieces into your inner board and pull them off as quickly as you could. This tactic focuses on the pace of moving your chips with no efforts to hit or barricade your opponent’s checkers. The ideal time to employ this plan is when you believe you can move your own pieces quicker than your opposing player does: when 1) you have less chips on the board; 2) all your pieces have past your competitor’s checkers; or 3) the opponent does not use the hitting or blocking strategy.
The Blocking Game Strategy
The main aim of the blocking technique, by its name, is to stop the opponent’s pieces, temporarily, not worrying about moving your checkers rapidly. As soon as you’ve created the barrier for the opponent’s movement with a couple of checkers, you can shift your other pieces quickly off the board. You should also have an apparent strategy when to extract and move the chips that you employed for blocking. The game becomes interesting when the competitor uses the same blocking strategy.
