The aim of a Backgammon match is to shift your pieces around the game board and bear them off the game board quicker than your challenger who works just as hard to do the same buthowever they move in the opposing direction. Succeeding in a round in Backgammon requires both tactics and luck. Just how far you will be able to shift your checkers is up to the numbers from tossing the dice, and the way you move your checkers are decided on by your overall playing strategies. Players use different plans in the different parts of a match based on your positions and opponent’s.
The Running Game Tactic
The aim of the Running Game tactic is to lure all your checkers into your inner board and bear them off as fast as you can. This strategy focuses on the speed of advancing your checkers with little or no efforts to hit or stop your competitor’s pieces. The best time to employ this technique is when you think you might be able to move your own chips a lot faster than your opponent does: when 1) you have a fewer checkers on the board; 2) all your checkers have moved beyond your opponent’s pieces; or 3) your opposing player doesn’t use the hitting or blocking technique.
The Blocking Game Technique
The main aim of the blocking strategy, by its title, is to stop your opponent’s checkers, temporarily, while not fretting about moving your chips quickly. Once you have established the blockade for your competitor’s movement with a couple of chips, you can shift your other pieces quickly off the game board. You really should also have an apparent plan when to extract and move the checkers that you used for blocking. The game gets interesting when the opposition utilizes the same blocking technique.
