The aim of a Backgammon game is to move your checkers around the Backgammon board and bear those pieces off the board quicker than your opposing player who works harder to attempt the same buthowever they move in the opposite direction. Succeeding in a round in Backgammon needsrequires both tactics and good luck. Just how far you will be able to shift your pieces is left to the numbers from tossing the dice, and just how you shift your checkers are decided on by your overall playing tactics. Players use differing strategies in the differing stages of a match dependent on your positions and opponent’s.
The Running Game Technique
The goal of the Running Game tactic is to entice all your chips into your inside board and bear them off as quickly as you can. This tactic focuses on the pace of advancing your checkers with absolutely no efforts to hit or block your opponent’s checkers. The best scenario to employ this tactic is when you believe you can shift your own checkers quicker than the opposing player does: when 1) you have less checkers on the game board; 2) all your pieces have moved beyond your opponent’s checkers; or 3) the opposing player doesn’t use the hitting or blocking plan.
The Blocking Game Tactic
The main aim of the blocking tactic, by the title, is to stop your competitor’s chips, temporarily, not worrying about moving your chips quickly. After you’ve created the blockage for the competitor’s movement with a few checkers, you can shift your other pieces quickly off the board. You really should also have a good plan when to back off and move the pieces that you employed for the blockade. The game becomes interesting when your opposition uses the same blocking technique.
