The objective of a Backgammon game is to move your checkers around the Backgammon board and bear them off the board quicker than your opposing player who works just as hard to achieve the same buthowever they move in the opposing direction. Succeeding in a game of Backgammon needsrequires both strategy and luck. How far you can shift your chips is up to the numbers from tossing the dice, and the way you move your pieces are decided on by your overall playing techniques. Players use differing tactics in the different stages of a game depending on your positions and opponent’s.
The Running Game Strategy
The goal of the Running Game tactic is to entice all your checkers into your home board and get them off as quickly as you can. This technique focuses on the speed of moving your chips with no time spent to hit or stop your opponent’s pieces. The best scenario to employ this tactic is when you believe you might be able to shift your own chips quicker than your opposing player does: when 1) you have a fewer chips on the board; 2) all your chips have moved beyond your competitor’s chips; or 3) the opponent does not use the hitting or blocking strategy.
The Blocking Game Tactic
The primary aim of the blocking tactic, by the title, is to block your competitor’s checkers, temporarily, while not fretting about moving your chips rapidly. After you’ve established the blockade for the opponent’s movement with a few pieces, you can move your other pieces swiftly off the board. The player should also have a clear plan when to withdraw and shift the pieces that you utilized for the blockade. The game becomes interesting when the competitor utilizes the same blocking tactic.
