The aim of a Backgammon match is to move your pieces around the Backgammon board and get those pieces off the game board quicker than your opposing player who works just as hard to achieve the same buthowever they move in the opposing direction. Winning a game in Backgammon requires both strategy and luck. Just how far you can 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 strategies. Players use a number of tactics in the different parts of a game depending on your positions and opponent’s.
The Running Game Tactic
The goal of the Running Game technique is to entice all your chips into your home board and get them off as quickly as you could. This strategy focuses on the speed of advancing your chips with absolutely no time spent to hit or barricade your opponent’s chips. The ideal time to employ this strategy is when you believe you might be able to move your own pieces faster than the opponent does: when 1) you have less chips on the game board; 2) all your pieces have moved beyond your opponent’s checkers; or 3) your opposing player doesn’t employ the hitting or blocking technique.
The Blocking Game Strategy
The main aim of the blocking tactic, by the name, is to block the competitor’s checkers, temporarily, while not worrying about shifting your chips rapidly. After you’ve created the blockade for the opponent’s movement with a couple of checkers, you can shift your other pieces swiftly off the game board. You should also have a good strategy when to withdraw and move the checkers that you employed for the blockade. The game becomes intriguing when the opponent utilizes the same blocking technique.
