The goal of a Backgammon game is to shift your pieces around the game board and bear those pieces from the game board faster than your opponent who works just as hard to attempt the same buthowever they move in the opposing direction. Winning a game in Backgammon needsrequires both strategy and good luck. Just how far you will be able to shift your checkers is up to the numbers from rolling the dice, and how you move your pieces are decided on by your overall playing tactics. Players use differing tactics in the differing stages of a game dependent on your positions and opponent’s.
The Running Game Plan
The aim of the Running Game tactic is to entice all your pieces into your inner board and pull them off as quickly as you could. This tactic focuses on the speed of shifting your checkers with no efforts to hit or block your opponent’s pieces. The ideal scenario to employ this tactic is when you believe you might be able to move your own chips faster than the opponent does: when 1) you have a fewer chips on the board; 2) all your checkers have moved beyond your opponent’s pieces; or 3) the opponent doesn’t employ the hitting or blocking tactic.
The Blocking Game Strategy
The main goal of the blocking technique, by the title, is to stop the opponent’s checkers, temporarily, not worrying about shifting your pieces rapidly. Once you have created the barrier for the opponent’s movement with a few checkers, you can shift your other pieces rapidly off the board. The player will need to also have a good plan when to extract and shift the checkers that you utilized for blocking. The game becomes interesting when the opponent utilizes the same blocking tactic.
