The aim of a Backgammon game is to move your pieces around the Backgammon board and get those pieces off the board faster than your competitor who works just as hard to attempt the same buthowever they move in the opposing direction. Succeeding in a match of Backgammon requires both strategy and luck. How far you will be able to shift your pieces is up to the numbers from tossing a pair of dice, and how you shift your checkers are decided on by your overall playing techniques. Enthusiasts use differing plans in the differing stages of a match based on your positions and opponent’s.
The Running Game Tactic
The aim of the Running Game technique is to bring all your chips into your home board and pull them off as quickly as you could. This plan focuses on the pace of advancing your chips with absolutely no efforts to hit or stop your competitor’s checkers. The ideal time to use this plan is when you think you might be able to move your own checkers faster than the opposition does: when 1) you have less pieces on the game board; 2) all your pieces have past your opponent’s chips; or 3) your opposing player doesn’t employ the hitting or blocking tactic.
The Blocking Game Technique
The main goal of the blocking tactic, by its name, is to block your competitor’s checkers, temporarily, while not worrying about shifting your pieces rapidly. Once you’ve established the blockage for your opponent’s movement with a few pieces, you can shift your other checkers swiftly off the game board. The player should also have a clear plan when to back off and shift the pieces that you used for the blockade. The game becomes intriguing when the competitor utilizes the same blocking tactic.
