The aim of a Backgammon game is to shift your chips around the Backgammon board and pull those pieces off the board faster than your challenger who works harder to attempt the same buthowever they move in the opposite direction. Winning a round in Backgammon requires both strategy and fortune. Just how far you will be able to move your chips is up to the numbers from rolling a pair of dice, and just how you move your chips are determined by your overall playing plans. Players use differing tactics in the differing stages of a game depending on your positions and opponent’s.
The Running Game Tactic
The goal of the Running Game plan is to lure all your pieces into your inner board and pull them off as quickly as you could. This plan focuses on the pace of shifting your checkers with no time spent to hit or stop your competitor’s chips. The ideal scenario to use this technique is when you believe you might be able to shift your own chips a lot faster than your opposing player does: when 1) you have less checkers on the game board; 2) all your pieces have past your opponent’s pieces; or 3) your opponent does not use the hitting or blocking tactic.
The Blocking Game Technique
The primary aim of the blocking strategy, by the name, is to stop the opponent’s chips, temporarily, while not worrying about moving your chips rapidly. As soon as you have created the blockage for your opponent’s movement with a few pieces, you can move your other pieces rapidly off the game board. You should also have an apparent strategy when to withdraw and shift the checkers that you used for blocking. The game gets interesting when the competitor uses the same blocking technique.
