The objective of a Backgammon match is to move your chips around the game board and get them from the board quicker than your opposing player who works just as hard to achieve the same buthowever they move in the opposing direction. Succeeding in a game of Backgammon requires both tactics and good luck. Just how far you will be able to move your pieces is left to the numbers from rolling a pair of dice, and just how you shift your pieces are decided on by your overall playing strategies. Players use differing plans in the differing parts of a game depending on your positions and opponent’s.
The Running Game Tactic
The goal of the Running Game technique is to entice all your checkers into your home board and get them off as quick as you could. This plan focuses on the pace of moving your pieces with little or no efforts to hit or stop your opponent’s checkers. The best time to employ this tactic is when you believe you might be able to move your own chips a lot faster than your opponent does: when 1) you have less chips on the board; 2) all your checkers have moved beyond your competitor’s chips; or 3) the opponent does not use the hitting or blocking tactic.
The Blocking Game Technique
The primary aim of the blocking tactic, by the title, is to stop your opponent’s checkers, temporarily, while not worrying about shifting your pieces quickly. After you have established the blockade for the competitor’s movement with a couple of checkers, you can shift your other chips quickly off the board. The player will need to also have an apparent plan when to extract and move the pieces that you employed for the blockade. The game gets intriguing when your opponent uses the same blocking strategy.
