The aim of a Backgammon game is to shift your chips around the Backgammon board and pull them off the board quicker than your competitor who works harder to attempt the same buthowever they move in the opposing direction. Succeeding in a match in Backgammon requires both strategy and luck. How far you can shift your chips is left to the numbers from rolling a pair of dice, and just how you move your chips are decided on by your overall playing tactics. Enthusiasts use different plans in the different stages of a game depending on your positions and opponent’s.
The Running Game Technique
The goal of the Running Game strategy is to lure all your checkers into your inner board and get them off as quickly as you could. This plan focuses on the pace of moving your pieces with little or no efforts to hit or block your opponent’s checkers. The ideal time to use this technique is when you believe you can shift your own chips a lot faster than the opposing player does: when 1) you have less pieces on the board; 2) all your checkers have moved beyond your opponent’s chips; or 3) the opposing player does not use the hitting or blocking strategy.
The Blocking Game Tactic
The primary aim of the blocking technique, by the name, is to stop the opponent’s pieces, temporarily, not fretting about shifting your chips quickly. As soon as you have established the blockade for your opponent’s movement with a few chips, you can shift your other chips rapidly from the game board. You will need to also have a clear strategy when to back off and move the checkers that you used for the blockade. The game becomes interesting when your opposition utilizes the same blocking technique.
