The aim of a Backgammon match is to shift your pieces around the Backgammon board and get them from the game board faster than your opposing player 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 good luck. Just how far you can shift your chips is up to the numbers from rolling a pair of dice, and the way you shift your pieces are determined by your overall playing strategies. Enthusiasts use a few tactics in the differing parts of a game based on your positions and opponent’s.
The Running Game Tactic
The aim of the Running Game plan is to bring all your chips into your inside board and bear them off as quickly as you could. This strategy concentrates on the speed of advancing your checkers with little or no time spent to hit or barricade your opponent’s checkers. The best time to employ this tactic is when you think you might be able to move your own chips faster than your opposing player does: when 1) you have less checkers on the board; 2) all your checkers have moved beyond your opponent’s checkers; or 3) your opposing player does not use the hitting or blocking strategy.
The Blocking Game Tactic
The main aim of the blocking technique, by its name, is to stop your opponent’s chips, temporarily, while not worrying about shifting your pieces quickly. After you’ve established the barrier for your competitor’s movement with a couple of pieces, you can shift your other pieces quickly off the board. You will need to also have an apparent plan when to back off and shift the chips that you employed for blocking. The game gets intriguing when your opposition utilizes the same blocking tactic.
