The goal of a Backgammon game is to shift your pieces around the game board and get them off the game board quicker than your opposing player who works just as hard to do the same buthowever they move in the opposite direction. Succeeding in a round of Backgammon requires both tactics and fortune. Just how far you can shift your checkers is up to the numbers from tossing the dice, and how you shift your chips are determined by your overall gambling tactics. Enthusiasts use differing techniques in the different stages of a match based on your positions and opponent’s.
The Running Game Tactic
The aim of the Running Game plan is to entice all your checkers into your inner board and get them off as quick as you can. This technique concentrates on the pace of advancing your chips with absolutely no efforts to hit or barricade your competitor’s checkers. The ideal scenario to employ this technique is when you think you might be able to shift your own pieces a lot faster than your opponent does: when 1) you have a fewer checkers on the board; 2) all your checkers have moved beyond your competitor’s chips; or 3) your opponent does not employ the hitting or blocking tactic.
The Blocking Game Plan
The main aim of the blocking plan, by its title, is to block your competitor’s chips, temporarily, not worrying about moving your chips rapidly. As soon as you’ve established the barrier for the competitor’s movement with a couple of chips, you can move your other checkers rapidly from the game board. The player should also have an apparent strategy when to extract and move the checkers that you used for blocking. The game becomes intriguing when the opposition utilizes the same blocking tactic.
