The aim of a Backgammon game is to shift your checkers around the game board and bear those pieces from the board faster than your challenger who works just as hard to attempt the same buthowever they move in the opposing direction. Winning a game in Backgammon requires both strategy and good luck. How far you will be able to move your chips is left to the numbers from tossing the dice, and just how you move your checkers are decided on by your overall playing techniques. Players use a few plans in the different stages of a match based on your positions and opponent’s.
The Running Game Tactic
The aim of the Running Game technique is to bring all your pieces into your inside board and pull them off as quickly as you could. This tactic focuses on the pace of moving your checkers with little or no efforts to hit or block your opponent’s checkers. The best scenario to employ this tactic is when you believe you might be able to shift your own checkers faster than the opponent does: when 1) you have less pieces on the game board; 2) all your chips have moved beyond your opponent’s pieces; or 3) the opposing player doesn’t use the hitting or blocking plan.
The Blocking Game Technique
The main aim of the blocking strategy, by the title, is to stop the competitor’s checkers, temporarily, while not worrying about shifting your pieces quickly. As soon as you’ve created the barrier for the competitor’s movement with a few chips, you can shift your other pieces quickly from the game board. You should also have a good plan when to back off and move the checkers that you used for blocking. The game gets interesting when your opponent uses the same blocking strategy.
