The goal of a Backgammon game is to move your pieces around the Backgammon board and bear those pieces off the board faster than your opponent who works just as hard to achieve the same buthowever they move in the opposite direction. Winning a match in Backgammon requires both tactics and good luck. Just how far you can move your pieces is left to the numbers from tossing a pair of dice, and how you shift your pieces are decided on by your overall playing strategies. Enthusiasts use differing techniques in the differing stages of a game dependent on your positions and opponent’s.
The Running Game Technique
The goal of the Running Game technique is to entice all your chips into your inner board and get them off as quick as you can. This technique concentrates on the pace of moving your pieces with no time spent to hit or stop your competitor’s checkers. The best scenario to use this technique is when you think you can move your own checkers a lot faster than the opposing player does: when 1) you have less pieces on the board; 2) all your checkers have past your opponent’s checkers; or 3) the opponent does not employ the hitting or blocking tactic.
The Blocking Game Tactic
The main goal of the blocking technique, by the title, is to stop your competitor’s chips, temporarily, while not fretting about shifting your checkers quickly. Once you’ve created the blockade for your opponent’s movement with a couple of checkers, you can move your other checkers swiftly from the game board. The player will need to also have an apparent plan when to withdraw and move the pieces that you utilized for the blockade. The game gets intriguing when your competitor uses the same blocking tactic.
