The goal of a Backgammon game is to move your chips around the Backgammon board and bear those pieces off the board faster than your opponent who works just as hard to attempt the same buthowever they move in the opposing direction. Succeeding in a round in Backgammon requires both strategy and luck. How far you can shift your checkers is left to the numbers from tossing the dice, and the way you shift your checkers are decided on by your overall playing strategies. Enthusiasts use different tactics in the differing stages of a match based on your positions and opponent’s.
The Running Game Technique
The goal of the Running Game tactic is to entice all your pieces into your inner board and get them off as quick as you could. This plan focuses on the pace of advancing your chips with absolutely no time spent to hit or stop your opponent’s pieces. The ideal time to use this tactic is when you believe you might be able to move your own checkers quicker than your opposing player does: when 1) you have less chips on the board; 2) all your chips have past your competitor’s checkers; or 3) your opposing player doesn’t use the hitting or blocking tactic.
The Blocking Game Plan
The primary goal of the blocking strategy, by its title, is to block your competitor’s chips, temporarily, while not worrying about shifting your pieces rapidly. Once you have created the blockade for the competitor’s movement with a few checkers, you can shift your other checkers rapidly off the board. You will need to also have a good plan when to back off and move the pieces that you employed for the blockade. The game gets intriguing when your competitor utilizes the same blocking strategy.
