The goal of a Backgammon game is to shift your chips around the game board and pull those pieces off the game board quicker than your challenger who works harder to attempt the same buthowever they move in the opposing direction. Succeeding in a game in Backgammon requires both strategy and fortune. How far you can shift your pieces is up to the numbers from tossing the dice, and the way you move your checkers are determined by your overall playing strategies. Enthusiasts use different tactics in the differing parts of a match depending on your positions and opponent’s.
The Running Game Technique
The aim of the Running Game strategy is to entice all your chips into your inner board and pull them off as quickly as you could. This tactic concentrates on the pace of moving your chips with absolutely no time spent to hit or stop your opponent’s pieces. The best time to use this technique is when you think you might be able to move your own checkers a lot faster than your opposing player does: when 1) you have less checkers on the board; 2) all your pieces have moved beyond your competitor’s checkers; or 3) your opponent does not use the hitting or blocking technique.
The Blocking Game Tactic
The primary goal of the blocking tactic, by its title, is to block your competitor’s checkers, temporarily, while not worrying about shifting your pieces rapidly. Once you’ve established the barrier for the opponent’s movement with a couple of pieces, you can move your other chips swiftly off the board. You should also have an apparent strategy when to withdraw and shift the pieces that you utilized for the blockade. The game gets interesting when the opposition uses the same blocking strategy.
