The aim of a Backgammon game is to shift your pieces around the Backgammon board and get those pieces from the board quicker than your opponent who works just as hard to attempt the same buthowever they move in the opposite direction. Winning a match in Backgammon needsrequires both tactics and good luck. How far you can shift your pieces is up to the numbers from tossing a pair of dice, and the way you move your chips are determined by your overall playing techniques. Players use a few plans in the differing parts of a match depending on your positions and opponent’s.
The Running Game Technique
The goal of the Running Game tactic is to entice all your pieces into your inner board and bear them off as quick as you can. This tactic concentrates on the speed of moving your checkers with no time spent to hit or barricade your opponent’s chips. The ideal time to employ this strategy is when you believe you can shift your own chips a lot faster than the opposing player does: when 1) you have a fewer checkers on the board; 2) all your checkers have moved beyond your opponent’s pieces; or 3) your opposing player does not use the hitting or blocking tactic.
The Blocking Game Technique
The primary goal of the blocking technique, by the title, is to block the competitor’s pieces, temporarily, not worrying about shifting your chips quickly. As soon as you have established the blockade for your opponent’s movement with a few checkers, you can shift your other pieces quickly off the game board. The player will need to also have an apparent strategy when to extract and move the chips that you used for the blockade. The game becomes interesting when the opposition uses the same blocking strategy.
