The aim of a Backgammon match is to move your pieces around the Backgammon board and get those pieces from the board faster than your competitor who works just as hard to attempt the same buthowever they move in the opposite direction. Succeeding in a round in Backgammon requires both strategy and luck. Just how far you can move your pieces is left to the numbers from tossing a pair of dice, and the way you move your pieces are determined by your overall playing strategies. Players use a number of techniques in the different parts of a game dependent on your positions and opponent’s.
The Running Game Tactic
The aim of the Running Game tactic is to bring all your checkers into your inside board and bear them off as quickly as you could. This strategy focuses on the speed of moving your chips with absolutely no efforts to hit or block your opponent’s pieces. The ideal scenario to use this strategy is when you believe you can move your own chips quicker than your opposing player does: when 1) you have less chips on the board; 2) all your chips have past your competitor’s chips; or 3) your opposing player doesn’t use the hitting or blocking strategy.
The Blocking Game Plan
The primary goal of the blocking tactic, by its title, is to stop the competitor’s pieces, temporarily, while not worrying about moving your checkers rapidly. Once you have established the blockade for the opponent’s movement with a couple of chips, you can move your other chips swiftly off the board. The player will need to also have a good strategy when to back off and move the pieces that you utilized for the blockade. The game gets interesting when the opponent uses the same blocking strategy.
