The aim of a Backgammon game is to move your chips around the Backgammon board and get them off the game board faster than your opposing player who works harder to attempt the same buthowever they move in the opposing direction. Succeeding in a match of Backgammon requires both tactics and luck. Just how far you will be able to move your pieces is up to the numbers from tossing a pair of dice, and the way you move your checkers are determined by your overall playing techniques. Enthusiasts use differing tactics in the differing parts of a game dependent on your positions and opponent’s.
The Running Game Strategy
The goal of the Running Game tactic is to bring all your checkers into your inner board and get them off as quickly as you can. This technique concentrates on the speed of moving your checkers with no time spent to hit or stop your competitor’s chips. The best time to use this strategy is when you believe you might be able to shift your own checkers a lot faster than the opposing player does: when 1) you have a fewer checkers on the board; 2) all your chips have moved beyond your competitor’s chips; or 3) the opposing player doesn’t employ the hitting or blocking tactic.
The Blocking Game Strategy
The primary aim of the blocking tactic, by the title, is to block your competitor’s chips, temporarily, while not worrying about shifting your checkers rapidly. As soon as you’ve created the blockage for your competitor’s movement with a couple of checkers, you can move your other pieces quickly off the board. You will need to also have an apparent strategy when to back off and move the chips that you used for blocking. The game becomes interesting when the opposition utilizes the same blocking technique.
