The goal of a Backgammon game is to move your pieces around the game board and get those pieces off the game board faster than your competitor who works just as hard to achieve the same buthowever they move in the opposing direction. Succeeding in a game in Backgammon requires both tactics and luck. Just how far you will be able to move your chips is left to the numbers from tossing the dice, and just how you shift your checkers are determined by your overall playing plans. Players use a number of tactics in the different stages of a match depending on your positions and opponent’s.
The Running Game Technique
The aim of the Running Game strategy is to lure all your chips into your inner board and get them off as fast as you could. This strategy focuses on the pace of advancing your pieces with little or no time spent to hit or stop your competitor’s chips. The ideal time to use this technique is when you think you might be able to move your own pieces faster than your opposing player does: when 1) you have less chips on the game board; 2) all your pieces have moved beyond your opponent’s checkers; or 3) the opposing player doesn’t employ the hitting or blocking technique.
The Blocking Game Technique
The main goal of the blocking plan, by the title, is to stop your opponent’s chips, temporarily, not fretting about shifting your chips quickly. As soon as you have established the barrier for the opponent’s movement with a couple of pieces, you can shift your other chips rapidly from the game board. You will need to also have an apparent strategy when to extract and shift the pieces that you used for the blockade. The game becomes interesting when the opposition utilizes the same blocking technique.
