The aim of a Backgammon game is to shift your chips around the game board and pull them off the board quicker than your opposing player who works harder to achieve the same buthowever they move in the opposing direction. Winning a round in Backgammon requires both tactics and good luck. How far you will be able to shift your pieces is up to the numbers from tossing the dice, and just how you shift your chips are determined by your overall playing techniques. Players use a few techniques in the different parts of a match based on your positions and opponent’s.
The Running Game Strategy
The aim of the Running Game plan is to entice all your chips into your home board and get them off as quick as you could. This strategy focuses on the pace of advancing your pieces with absolutely no efforts to hit or block your opponent’s checkers. The best time to use this strategy is when you believe you can shift your own chips quicker than your opposition does: when 1) you have less pieces on the game board; 2) all your checkers have past your competitor’s checkers; or 3) your opponent does not use the hitting or blocking strategy.
The Blocking Game Tactic
The main aim of the blocking strategy, by the name, is to block your opponent’s chips, temporarily, while not worrying about shifting your pieces rapidly. Once you’ve created the blockage for the competitor’s movement with a couple of pieces, you can move your other checkers swiftly off the board. The player should also have an apparent strategy when to back off and move the chips that you used for blocking. The game becomes intriguing when your opposition uses the same blocking technique.
