The goal of a Backgammon match is to shift your pieces around the Backgammon board and pull those pieces from the board quicker than your competitor who works harder to do the same buthowever they move in the opposite direction. Winning a game of Backgammon requires both tactics and fortune. How far you will be able to move your chips is left to the numbers from rolling a pair of dice, and the way you move your chips are determined by your overall playing strategies. Players use different techniques in the differing parts of a match dependent on your positions and opponent’s.
The Running Game Technique
The aim of the Running Game tactic is to entice all your pieces into your home board and pull them off as quick as you could. This plan concentrates on the speed of moving your chips with no time spent to hit or block your competitor’s pieces. The ideal time to employ this tactic is when you think you can shift your own pieces a lot faster than your opposing player does: when 1) you have less checkers on the game board; 2) all your chips have past your competitor’s checkers; or 3) the opponent does not employ the hitting or blocking technique.
The Blocking Game Tactic
The primary goal of the blocking strategy, by its title, is to block the opponent’s checkers, temporarily, not worrying about moving your chips quickly. After you’ve established the blockade for the competitor’s movement with a couple of chips, you can move your other checkers quickly from the game board. You should also have an apparent plan when to back off and move the chips that you used for blocking. The game becomes interesting when your opponent utilizes the same blocking tactic.
