The aim of a Backgammon match is to move your checkers around the Backgammon board and bear those pieces from the board faster than your opponent who works just as hard to attempt the same buthowever they move in the opposing direction. Winning a match in Backgammon requires both tactics and good luck. How far you will be able to shift your checkers is up to the numbers from tossing a pair of dice, and the way you move your checkers are determined by your overall playing techniques. Players use differing techniques in the differing parts of a match depending on your positions and opponent’s.
The Running Game Plan
The goal of the Running Game tactic is to bring all your chips into your home board and get them off as quickly as you could. This plan focuses on the pace of moving your pieces with absolutely no time spent to hit or barricade your competitor’s pieces. The ideal scenario to employ this strategy is when you think you can shift your own checkers a lot faster than the opponent does: when 1) you have less checkers on the board; 2) all your checkers have moved beyond your opponent’s chips; or 3) your opposing player doesn’t employ the hitting or blocking plan.
The Blocking Game Tactic
The primary goal of the blocking strategy, by the title, is to stop your competitor’s pieces, temporarily, not fretting about shifting your checkers quickly. Once you have established the blockade for your competitor’s movement with a few pieces, you can move your other chips quickly from the board. You should also have an apparent strategy when to extract and move the chips that you utilized for the blockade. The game gets intriguing when your opponent uses the same blocking technique.
