The goal of a Backgammon match is to move your pieces around the game board and get those pieces off the board quicker than your challenger who works harder to do the same buthowever they move in the opposing direction. Winning a game in Backgammon requires both strategy and good luck. Just how far you can move your chips is left to the numbers from tossing the dice, and just how you move your chips are decided on by your overall gambling plans. Players use different techniques in the different parts of a game dependent on your positions and opponent’s.
The Running Game Tactic
The goal of the Running Game tactic is to bring all your chips into your inner board and bear them off as quick as you could. This plan focuses on the speed of advancing your pieces with little or no time spent to hit or barricade your competitor’s chips. The ideal time to employ this strategy is when you believe you might be able to shift your own checkers faster than the opposing player does: when 1) you have less pieces on the game board; 2) all your chips have moved beyond your opponent’s chips; or 3) the opponent doesn’t use the hitting or blocking strategy.
The Blocking Game Strategy
The main aim of the blocking technique, by the title, is to block your competitor’s checkers, temporarily, not fretting about moving your chips quickly. After you’ve created the blockade for your opponent’s movement with a couple of chips, you can move your other checkers quickly off the board. You should also have a clear plan when to extract and move the checkers that you used for the blockade. The game gets intriguing when the competitor uses the same blocking tactic.
