The goal of a Backgammon match is to shift your checkers around the Backgammon board and get them from the board faster than your opposing player who works just as hard to do the same buthowever they move in the opposite direction. Winning a match of Backgammon needsrequires both strategy and fortune. How far you can shift your pieces is left to the numbers from tossing a pair of dice, and just how you move your checkers are determined by your overall playing strategies. Players use differing plans in the differing parts of a game based on your positions and opponent’s.
The Running Game Tactic
The aim of the Running Game technique is to entice all your chips into your inner board and bear them off as quickly as you can. This technique concentrates on the pace of shifting your checkers with absolutely no time spent to hit or barricade your opponent’s checkers. The best time to employ this strategy is when you believe you might be able to shift your own pieces a lot faster than your opposing player does: when 1) you have less pieces on the board; 2) all your pieces have moved beyond your opponent’s checkers; or 3) the opposing player doesn’t use the hitting or blocking technique.
The Blocking Game Technique
The main goal of the blocking technique, by the name, is to block the competitor’s pieces, temporarily, while not worrying about shifting your chips rapidly. As soon as you’ve established the blockade for the competitor’s movement with a few chips, you can shift your other checkers quickly off the game board. You should also have a good plan when to extract and shift the pieces that you used for the blockade. The game becomes interesting when your competitor uses the same blocking strategy.
