The aim of a Backgammon match is to shift your pieces around the Backgammon board and bear them off the board quicker than your competitor who works harder to do the same buthowever they move in the opposite direction. Succeeding in a game in Backgammon requires both tactics and luck. How far you can move your checkers is up to the numbers from rolling a pair of dice, and how you shift your chips are determined by your overall gambling tactics. Players use different tactics in the differing stages of a match based on your positions and opponent’s.
The Running Game Tactic
The goal of the Running Game strategy is to lure all your pieces into your inner board and pull them off as quick as you could. This tactic concentrates on the pace of advancing your checkers with absolutely no time spent to hit or barricade your opponent’s pieces. The ideal scenario to use this technique is when you believe you can move your own checkers quicker than the opponent does: when 1) you have less chips on the game board; 2) all your pieces have past your opponent’s pieces; or 3) the opponent doesn’t employ the hitting or blocking plan.
The Blocking Game Strategy
The main goal of the blocking tactic, by the title, is to stop your opponent’s chips, temporarily, not fretting about moving your pieces rapidly. Once you have created the blockage for your competitor’s movement with a few pieces, you can shift your other chips quickly off the board. You should also have a clear plan when to withdraw and shift the chips that you used for the blockade. The game becomes interesting when your opponent uses the same blocking tactic.
