The aim of a Backgammon game is to shift your pieces around the game board and bear those pieces from the board quicker than your challenger who works just as hard to achieve the same buthowever they move in the opposite direction. Succeeding in a game in Backgammon requires both tactics and good luck. How far you will be able to shift your chips is up to the numbers from rolling the dice, and how you shift your checkers are determined by your overall playing strategies. Enthusiasts use different tactics in the differing parts of a match depending on your positions and opponent’s.
The Running Game Tactic
The aim of the Running Game plan is to lure all your pieces into your inner board and pull them off as fast as you can. This plan focuses on the speed of advancing your checkers with absolutely no time spent to hit or barricade your opponent’s pieces. The best time to employ this plan is when you think you can move your own checkers a lot faster than the opposition does: when 1) you have less checkers on the game board; 2) all your chips have past your competitor’s pieces; or 3) your opposing player does not use the hitting or blocking technique.
The Blocking Game Strategy
The primary aim of the blocking tactic, by its name, is to block your competitor’s chips, temporarily, not worrying about shifting your checkers quickly. After you have created the barrier for your opponent’s movement with a few checkers, you can shift your other pieces quickly from the board. The player really should also have an apparent plan when to withdraw and move the chips that you used for blocking. The game becomes interesting when your opponent utilizes the same blocking tactic.
