The goal of a Backgammon game is to move your checkers around the game board and pull them from the game board quicker than your opponent who works just as hard to do the same buthowever they move in the opposite direction. Succeeding in a game in Backgammon requires both tactics and good luck. Just how far you will be able to move your checkers is left to the numbers from rolling a pair of dice, and just how you move your chips are decided on by your overall playing techniques. Enthusiasts use different tactics in the different stages of a match depending on your positions and opponent’s.
The Running Game Technique
The goal of the Running Game strategy is to bring all your chips into your inner board and bear them off as quickly as you can. This plan focuses on the speed of shifting your chips with little or no time spent to hit or stop your competitor’s chips. The best time to employ this tactic is when you believe you can move your own chips quicker than the opposing player does: when 1) you have less checkers on the game board; 2) all your checkers have past your opponent’s pieces; or 3) the opposing player does not use the hitting or blocking technique.
The Blocking Game Technique
The primary goal of the blocking tactic, by the name, is to block your opponent’s checkers, temporarily, while not fretting about moving your pieces rapidly. As soon as you have created the barrier for the opponent’s movement with a few pieces, you can shift your other pieces quickly off the game board. You will need to also have a good strategy when to back off and move the chips that you employed for the blockade. The game becomes intriguing when the competitor utilizes the same blocking tactic.
