The aim of a Backgammon match is to move your checkers around the Backgammon board and bear them off the game board faster than your challenger who works harder to attempt the same buthowever they move in the opposite direction. Succeeding in a game in Backgammon needsrequires both tactics and good luck. How far you can shift your checkers is left to the numbers from rolling a pair of dice, and how you move your pieces are determined by your overall playing strategies. Enthusiasts use differing techniques in the different stages of a match depending on your positions and opponent’s.
The Running Game Tactic
The aim of the Running Game tactic is to lure all your checkers into your inside board and pull them off as fast as you can. This tactic concentrates on the pace of advancing your pieces with little or no efforts to hit or barricade your competitor’s pieces. The best scenario to employ this tactic is when you think you might be able to move your own checkers quicker than the opposing player does: when 1) you have less chips on the game board; 2) all your pieces have past your opponent’s pieces; or 3) the opposing player doesn’t use the hitting or blocking plan.
The Blocking Game Tactic
The primary goal of the blocking tactic, by its title, is to block your opponent’s pieces, temporarily, not worrying about shifting your pieces rapidly. Once you’ve created the blockage for your opponent’s movement with a few chips, you can move your other chips rapidly from the game board. You should also have an apparent plan when to back off and move the chips that you used for blocking. The game becomes intriguing when your opposition utilizes the same blocking technique.
