The objective of a Backgammon match is to move your pieces around the game board and get them off the board faster than your challenger who works just as hard to do the same buthowever they move in the opposite direction. Succeeding in a game of Backgammon requires both tactics and luck. How far you will be able to shift your pieces is left to the numbers from rolling a pair of dice, and the way you move your chips are determined by your overall gambling techniques. Players use a few techniques in the different stages of a game depending on your positions and opponent’s.
The Running Game Tactic
The goal of the Running Game strategy is to entice all your checkers into your home board and bear them off as quick as you could. This technique concentrates on the speed of advancing your pieces with absolutely no efforts to hit or block your opponent’s chips. The ideal time to employ this tactic is when you believe you might be able to shift your own pieces faster than your opponent does: when 1) you have less checkers on the board; 2) all your pieces have moved beyond your competitor’s chips; or 3) the opposing player doesn’t employ the hitting or blocking technique.
The Blocking Game Technique
The primary goal of the blocking plan, by its title, is to block your opponent’s pieces, temporarily, while not worrying about moving your chips rapidly. Once you have established the blockage for the competitor’s movement with a few chips, you can shift your other pieces rapidly off the board. You should also have a clear plan when to back off and move the checkers that you used for blocking. The game becomes intriguing when your opponent utilizes the same blocking strategy.
