The goal of a Backgammon game is to move your checkers around the Backgammon board and bear those pieces off the game board quicker than your competitor who works just as hard to do the same buthowever they move in the opposite direction. Winning a match in Backgammon needsrequires both strategy and fortune. Just how far you will be able to shift your pieces is left to the numbers from rolling the dice, and how you move your pieces are decided on by your overall playing techniques. Players use differing plans in the differing stages of a match depending on your positions and opponent’s.
The Running Game Plan
The aim of the Running Game technique is to bring all your chips into your inner board and bear them off as fast as you could. This tactic focuses on the speed of advancing your chips with no time spent to hit or block your opponent’s pieces. The best time to employ this technique is when you believe you can move your own chips quicker than your opposition does: when 1) you have a fewer checkers on the board; 2) all your chips have moved beyond your competitor’s pieces; or 3) the opposing player does not employ the hitting or blocking plan.
The Blocking Game Tactic
The main goal of the blocking tactic, by its name, is to stop the competitor’s pieces, temporarily, not worrying about moving your chips quickly. Once you have established the blockade for the competitor’s movement with a couple of chips, you can move your other pieces quickly off the game board. You will need to also have a good plan when to extract and move the pieces that you utilized for the blockade. The game gets intriguing when the competitor uses the same blocking tactic.
