The objective of a Backgammon game is to move your checkers around the game board and get those pieces off the board faster than your opponent who works harder to achieve the same buthowever they move in the opposing direction. Succeeding in a game in Backgammon requires both strategy and good luck. Just how far you will be able to shift your pieces is left to the numbers from tossing the dice, and the way you move your chips are determined by your overall gambling tactics. Players use different techniques in the different parts of a game dependent on your positions and opponent’s.
The Running Game Tactic
The aim of the Running Game plan is to bring all your checkers into your inner board and get them off as fast as you could. This tactic concentrates on the pace of moving your chips 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 might be able to move your own pieces a lot faster than your opposing player does: when 1) you have a fewer chips on the game board; 2) all your pieces have moved beyond your competitor’s chips; or 3) your opponent doesn’t use the hitting or blocking technique.
The Blocking Game Tactic
The main goal of the blocking tactic, by the title, is to stop your competitor’s pieces, temporarily, not worrying about shifting your chips rapidly. As soon as you have established the blockade for the opponent’s movement with a couple of pieces, you can move your other checkers swiftly from the board. You will need to also have a good plan when to extract and move the checkers that you used for blocking. The game gets interesting when the competitor utilizes the same blocking tactic.
