The goal of a Backgammon game is to shift your chips around the game board and bear those pieces from the game board quicker than your competitor who works just as hard to do the same buthowever they move in the opposite direction. Winning a game of Backgammon requires both strategy and good luck. How far you will be able to shift your pieces is up to the numbers from tossing a pair of dice, and just how you move your checkers are determined by your overall playing tactics. Enthusiasts use a number of strategies in the different stages of a game dependent on your positions and opponent’s.
The Running Game Technique
The goal of the Running Game technique is to lure all your checkers into your inside board and get them off as quick as you can. This tactic concentrates on the speed of moving your chips with no time spent to hit or barricade your competitor’s pieces. The best time to use this tactic is when you believe you can move your own checkers a lot faster than the opponent does: when 1) you have a fewer checkers on the board; 2) all your checkers have moved beyond your competitor’s checkers; or 3) your opposing player doesn’t use the hitting or blocking tactic.
The Blocking Game Tactic
The main aim of the blocking plan, by the name, is to stop your opponent’s checkers, temporarily, while not fretting about moving your pieces quickly. Once you have established the blockade for the competitor’s movement with a couple of checkers, you can move your other checkers swiftly off the game board. The player should also have a good plan when to back off and shift the checkers that you used for blocking. The game becomes interesting when your competitor uses the same blocking technique.
