The objective of a Backgammon game is to shift your checkers around the game board and pull those pieces off the board faster than your opposing player who works harder to attempt the same buthowever they move in the opposite direction. Winning a match in Backgammon requires both strategy and good 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 shift your pieces are decided on by your overall playing strategies. Players use differing techniques in the different stages of a game dependent on your positions and opponent’s.
The Running Game Tactic
The goal of the Running Game technique is to lure all your chips into your inside board and get them off as fast as you could. This tactic concentrates on the speed of moving your chips with absolutely no time spent to hit or block your competitor’s pieces. The ideal time to employ this strategy is when you believe you might be able to move your own chips a lot faster than your opposing player does: when 1) you have a fewer chips on the game board; 2) all your chips have past your opponent’s chips; or 3) your opponent does not use the hitting or blocking plan.
The Blocking Game Tactic
The main goal of the blocking tactic, by the title, is to stop the opponent’s chips, temporarily, not worrying about moving your pieces quickly. Once you have established the barrier for the competitor’s movement with a few pieces, you can shift your other pieces swiftly from the game board. The player should also have an apparent strategy when to withdraw and move the chips that you used for blocking. The game becomes intriguing when your opposition uses the same blocking tactic.
