The aim of a Backgammon match is to move your chips around the Backgammon board and bear them off the game board quicker than your opponent who works just as hard to do the same buthowever they move in the opposite direction. Winning a game of Backgammon requires both strategy and luck. How far you can shift your pieces is left to the numbers from tossing a pair of dice, and the way you move your chips are determined by your overall gambling techniques. Players use different plans in the differing stages of a match depending on your positions and opponent’s.
The Running Game Tactic
The goal of the Running Game tactic is to bring all your checkers into your home board and bear them off as fast as you can. This strategy focuses on the pace of shifting your chips with no time spent to hit or block your competitor’s checkers. The ideal scenario to employ this plan is when you believe you might be able to move your own checkers faster than your opponent does: when 1) you have less checkers on the board; 2) all your chips have moved beyond your opponent’s chips; or 3) the opponent doesn’t use the hitting or blocking tactic.
The Blocking Game Tactic
The primary aim of the blocking tactic, by its title, is to stop the opponent’s chips, temporarily, not fretting about moving your chips quickly. As soon as you’ve established the barrier for the competitor’s movement with a few checkers, you can move your other pieces quickly off the game board. The player really should also have a clear strategy when to back off and move the checkers that you used for blocking. The game gets interesting when your opponent uses the same blocking technique.
