The objective of a Backgammon match is to shift your pieces around the game board and bear those pieces off the board faster than your competitor who works harder to do the same buthowever they move in the opposite direction. Succeeding in a game of Backgammon requires both strategy and fortune. Just how far you will be able to shift your pieces is up to the numbers from tossing the dice, and the way you shift your chips are decided on by your overall playing plans. Players use a number of techniques in the differing parts of a game dependent on your positions and opponent’s.
The Running Game Tactic
The aim of the Running Game technique is to entice all your pieces into your inner board and bear them off as quickly as you can. This strategy concentrates on the speed of moving your pieces with no efforts to hit or barricade your opponent’s pieces. The best time to employ this strategy is when you think you can move your own checkers a lot faster than the opposition does: when 1) you have less checkers on the board; 2) all your pieces have moved beyond your competitor’s checkers; or 3) the opponent does not use the hitting or blocking technique.
The Blocking Game Technique
The main aim of the blocking strategy, by its title, is to block the opponent’s pieces, temporarily, while not worrying about moving your pieces rapidly. After you have created the barrier for the opponent’s movement with a couple of checkers, you can shift your other checkers quickly from the board. You should also have an apparent plan when to extract and move the chips that you used for the blockade. The game gets intriguing when your opposition utilizes the same blocking strategy.
