The aim of a Backgammon game is to move your checkers around the game board and get them from the game board faster than your challenger who works harder to achieve the same buthowever they move in the opposite direction. Succeeding in a game in Backgammon requires both tactics and luck. How far you can shift your chips is up to the numbers from tossing the dice, and the way you move your pieces are determined by your overall playing plans. Players use a few tactics in the different stages of a match based on your positions and opponent’s.
The Running Game Plan
The goal of the Running Game tactic is to entice all your checkers into your home board and bear them off as quickly as you can. This plan focuses on the speed of moving your chips with little or no time spent to hit or stop your competitor’s chips. The ideal scenario to use this technique is when you think you can move your own pieces a lot faster than the opposition does: when 1) you have a fewer chips on the board; 2) all your checkers have past your competitor’s checkers; or 3) your opponent does not employ the hitting or blocking strategy.
The Blocking Game Tactic
The primary goal of the blocking technique, by the title, is to stop your opponent’s chips, temporarily, not fretting about moving your pieces quickly. After you’ve created the barrier for the competitor’s movement with a few chips, you can move your other pieces swiftly off the board. The player really should also have a good plan when to withdraw and shift the chips that you employed for blocking. The game becomes interesting when your opponent uses the same blocking tactic.
