The aim of a Backgammon game is to move your chips around the Backgammon board and get those pieces from the game board faster than your competitor who works just as hard to attempt the same buthowever they move in the opposing direction. Succeeding in a game in Backgammon needsrequires both strategy and luck. How far you can move your pieces is left to the numbers from tossing a pair of dice, and the way you shift your chips are determined by your overall playing strategies. Players use a few techniques in the different stages of a game depending on your positions and opponent’s.
The Running Game Tactic
The aim of the Running Game technique is to bring all your checkers into your inside board and pull them off as quickly as you could. This strategy focuses on the pace of shifting your pieces with no time spent to hit or block your opponent’s chips. The best time to use this tactic is when you think you can move your own chips a lot faster than the opposing player does: when 1) you have less chips on the board; 2) all your chips have moved beyond your opponent’s pieces; or 3) your opposing player does not use the hitting or blocking plan.
The Blocking Game Plan
The main goal of the blocking tactic, by the name, is to stop your opponent’s pieces, temporarily, not fretting about shifting your pieces quickly. As soon as you have established the blockage for the competitor’s movement with a few checkers, you can move your other chips swiftly off the board. The player will need to also have an apparent plan when to withdraw and move the pieces that you employed for the blockade. The game gets interesting when your opposition uses the same blocking tactic.
