The objective of a Backgammon match is to shift your checkers around the game board and pull those pieces off the board faster than your competitor who works harder to do the same buthowever they move in the opposing direction. Winning a game in Backgammon requires both strategy and luck. Just how far you can move your chips is left to the numbers from rolling a pair of dice, and the way you shift your chips are determined by your overall playing techniques. Enthusiasts use differing strategies in the different stages of a game depending on your positions and opponent’s.
The Running Game Technique
The goal of the Running Game tactic is to bring all your checkers into your inner board and bear them off as quickly as you can. This strategy focuses on the pace of moving your checkers with little or no time spent to hit or block your opponent’s pieces. The best time to employ this technique is when you think you might be able to move your own chips faster than your opposition does: when 1) you have a fewer checkers on the game board; 2) all your pieces have past your opponent’s chips; or 3) the opposing player does not employ the hitting or blocking technique.
The Blocking Game Tactic
The main goal of the blocking plan, by the name, is to block the competitor’s checkers, temporarily, while not fretting about moving your pieces rapidly. Once you have created the blockade for the competitor’s movement with a couple of checkers, you can move your other checkers quickly off the board. You will need to also have a good plan when to withdraw and move the checkers that you employed for the blockade. The game becomes intriguing when the opponent utilizes the same blocking tactic.
