The objective of a Backgammon game is to shift your checkers around the Backgammon board and bear them from the game board quicker than your challenger who works just as hard to do the same buthowever they move in the opposing direction. Succeeding in a game in Backgammon needsrequires both tactics and luck. How far you will be able to shift your pieces is up to the numbers from rolling the dice, and how you shift your chips are decided on by your overall playing plans. Players use differing tactics in the different stages of a game depending on your positions and opponent’s.
The Running Game Strategy
The goal of the Running Game tactic is to entice all your checkers into your inside board and bear them off as quick as you can. This strategy focuses on the pace of shifting your checkers with no time spent to hit or stop your competitor’s chips. The best scenario to use this plan is when you think you might be able to move your own checkers quicker than your opposing player does: when 1) you have a fewer pieces on the board; 2) all your checkers have moved beyond your competitor’s checkers; or 3) the opponent does not use the hitting or blocking strategy.
The Blocking Game Technique
The main aim of the blocking tactic, by the title, is to block your competitor’s chips, temporarily, not worrying about moving your chips quickly. Once you’ve created the blockade for your competitor’s movement with a few chips, you can move your other checkers rapidly from the board. The player should also have a good plan when to extract and move the chips that you used for the blockade. The game gets interesting when your opponent utilizes the same blocking strategy.
