The aim of a Backgammon match is to shift your chips around the Backgammon board and get those pieces off the board faster than your challenger who works just as hard to attempt the same buthowever they move in the opposite direction. Winning a match in Backgammon needsrequires both strategy and fortune. How far you will be able to shift your chips is left to the numbers from tossing a pair of dice, and how you shift your checkers are determined by your overall playing tactics. Enthusiasts use a few strategies in the differing parts of a match depending on your positions and opponent’s.
The Running Game Tactic
The aim of the Running Game tactic is to bring all your checkers into your inner board and bear them off as fast as you can. This strategy focuses on the pace of advancing your pieces with no efforts to hit or stop your competitor’s pieces. The ideal time to employ this plan is when you believe you can move your own pieces faster than the opposition does: when 1) you have a fewer chips on the board; 2) all your pieces have past your competitor’s chips; or 3) the opponent doesn’t use the hitting or blocking technique.
The Blocking Game Tactic
The primary aim of the blocking plan, by its title, is to block your opponent’s chips, temporarily, while not fretting about shifting your pieces quickly. Once you have established the blockage for your competitor’s movement with a couple of chips, you can shift your other pieces swiftly off the board. The player will need to also have an apparent strategy when to back off and move the chips that you employed for the blockade. The game becomes intriguing when the opposition utilizes the same blocking technique.
