The goal of a Backgammon game is to move your pieces around the game board and bear those pieces from the game board quicker than your challenger who works just as hard to do the same buthowever they move in the opposing direction. Winning a game in Backgammon requires both tactics and fortune. Just how far you can shift your checkers is left to the numbers from rolling a pair of dice, and just how you move your pieces are decided on by your overall playing techniques. Players use different plans in the different parts of a game 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 inner board and pull them off as quick as you could. This strategy concentrates on the pace of shifting your chips with little or no time spent to hit or barricade your competitor’s checkers. The ideal scenario to use this plan is when you think you can move your own chips a lot faster than your opposing player does: when 1) you have less chips on the board; 2) all your chips have moved beyond your opponent’s checkers; or 3) your opposing player doesn’t employ the hitting or blocking technique.
The Blocking Game Strategy
The primary goal of the blocking technique, by the title, is to stop your competitor’s chips, temporarily, not fretting about moving your pieces rapidly. Once you have established the barrier for the opponent’s movement with a couple of pieces, you can move your other chips swiftly from the game board. You will need to also have a clear plan when to extract and move the checkers that you employed for blocking. The game becomes intriguing when your opposition utilizes the same blocking technique.
