The goal of a Backgammon game is to move your chips around the Backgammon board and get them off the game board quicker than your opponent who works harder to achieve the same buthowever they move in the opposing direction. Succeeding in a round in Backgammon requires both strategy and luck. Just how far you can move your chips is left to the numbers from tossing the dice, and the way you shift your chips are decided on by your overall playing tactics. Players use a number of techniques in the differing parts of a game based on your positions and opponent’s.
The Running Game Tactic
The aim of the Running Game technique is to bring all your checkers into your home board and bear them off as quickly as you could. This strategy focuses on the pace of moving your chips with little or no time spent to hit or stop your opponent’s pieces. The ideal time to employ this plan is when you believe you might be able to move your own pieces quicker than the opposition does: when 1) you have less checkers on the game board; 2) all your pieces have moved beyond your competitor’s pieces; or 3) the opponent doesn’t use the hitting or blocking technique.
The Blocking Game Strategy
The primary aim of the blocking tactic, by the title, is to stop the competitor’s chips, temporarily, not fretting about moving your checkers rapidly. Once you have established the blockage for your opponent’s movement with a few pieces, you can move your other chips rapidly off the board. You will need to also have a clear strategy when to withdraw and move the pieces that you used for blocking. The game gets intriguing when your competitor uses the same blocking strategy.
