The objective of a Backgammon game is to move your chips around the game board and bear them from the game board faster than your opponent who works just as hard to do the same buthowever they move in the opposite direction. Winning a game in Backgammon requires both tactics and luck. How far you can shift your chips is left to the numbers from tossing the dice, and how you shift your chips are determined by your overall playing techniques. Enthusiasts use differing techniques in the differing stages of a match dependent on your positions and opponent’s.
The Running Game Tactic
The aim of the Running Game strategy is to bring all your chips into your home board and pull them off as quickly as you can. This tactic focuses on the pace of shifting your chips with absolutely no time spent to hit or block your opponent’s checkers. The best scenario to use this technique is when you believe you might be able to move your own chips faster than your opponent does: when 1) you have a fewer chips on the game board; 2) all your checkers have past your competitor’s checkers; or 3) the opposing player doesn’t use the hitting or blocking tactic.
The Blocking Game Technique
The main goal of the blocking plan, by the title, is to block the competitor’s pieces, temporarily, not fretting about shifting your chips quickly. After you have created the barrier for the competitor’s movement with a few checkers, you can shift your other checkers quickly from the game board. You will need to also have an apparent plan when to back off and move the checkers that you utilized for the blockade. The game becomes intriguing when the opposition uses the same blocking technique.
