The aim of a Backgammon game is to shift your pieces around the game board and bear them from the board quicker than your competitor who works just as hard to do the same buthowever they move in the opposing direction. Winning a match in Backgammon requires both strategy and good luck. How far you can move your checkers is left to the numbers from rolling a pair of dice, and the way you shift your pieces are determined by your overall playing techniques. Enthusiasts use differing tactics in the differing parts of a game based on your positions and opponent’s.
The Running Game Tactic
The aim of the Running Game tactic is to lure all your pieces into your inside board and bear them off as quickly as you could. This tactic focuses on the speed of shifting your checkers with little or no time spent to hit or barricade your competitor’s chips. The best scenario to use this strategy is when you think you can shift your own chips a lot faster than your opposing player does: when 1) you have less checkers on the game board; 2) all your chips have past your competitor’s pieces; or 3) the opponent does not employ the hitting or blocking strategy.
The Blocking Game Plan
The main goal of the blocking strategy, by its name, is to block your opponent’s chips, temporarily, not fretting about moving your chips rapidly. Once you have created the barrier for the competitor’s movement with a few pieces, you can move your other chips rapidly off the game board. The player will need to also have a clear strategy when to extract and shift the chips that you used for blocking. The game gets interesting when your competitor uses the same blocking strategy.
