The objective of a Backgammon game is to shift your chips around the Backgammon board and get those pieces from the game board faster than your opposing player who works just as hard to do the same buthowever they move in the opposite direction. Winning a game of Backgammon requires both tactics and luck. Just how far you will be able to move your pieces is up to the numbers from tossing the dice, and just how you move your pieces are determined by your overall playing strategies. Enthusiasts use different strategies in the differing stages of a match depending on your positions and opponent’s.
The Running Game Strategy
The goal of the Running Game tactic is to lure all your checkers into your home board and pull them off as quick as you can. This plan concentrates on the pace of moving your pieces with little or no time spent to hit or stop your opponent’s checkers. The ideal scenario to use this technique is when you believe you might be able to move your own pieces a lot faster than the opponent does: when 1) you have less chips on the board; 2) all your chips have past your competitor’s checkers; or 3) the opponent does not employ the hitting or blocking strategy.
The Blocking Game Tactic
The main goal of the blocking plan, by its title, is to stop your opponent’s checkers, temporarily, not worrying about shifting your chips rapidly. Once you have established the barrier for the competitor’s movement with a few checkers, you can move your other pieces rapidly off the board. You should also have a clear plan when to withdraw and shift the checkers that you used for blocking. The game gets intriguing when your competitor uses the same blocking tactic.
