Succeeding in a match of Backgammon needsrequires both strategy and luck. Just how far you will be able to move your chips is up to the numbers from tossing a pair of dice, and the way you shift your chips are decided on by your overall playing tactics. Enthusiasts use differing techniques in the differing stages of a match dependent on your positions and opponent’s.
The Running Game Tactic
The goal of the Running Game technique is to bring all your checkers into your home board and get them off as fast as you can. This technique focuses on the pace of advancing your chips with little or no time spent to hit or stop your opponent’s pieces. The ideal scenario to use this tactic is when you believe you might be able to move your own checkers faster than the opposition does: when 1) you have a fewer checkers on the board; 2) all your pieces have moved beyond your competitor’s chips; or 3) your opposing player doesn’t employ the hitting or blocking technique.
The Blocking Game Technique
The main aim of the blocking tactic, by the title, is to stop your competitor’s pieces, temporarily, while not worrying about moving your chips quickly. As soon as you’ve established the blockage for the competitor’s movement with a couple of pieces, you can shift your other chips quickly off the board. You really should also have a good plan when to back off and shift the checkers that you employed for blocking. The game gets intriguing when your competitor utilizes the same blocking strategy.
