The goal of a Backgammon game is to move your pieces around the game board and pull them off the board quicker than your opposing player who works harder to attempt the same buthowever they move in the opposing direction. Succeeding in a game of Backgammon requires both tactics and fortune. How far you can move your chips is up to the numbers from rolling the dice, and the way you move your checkers are determined by your overall playing plans. Enthusiasts use differing techniques in the different stages of a game depending on your positions and opponent’s.
The Running Game Strategy
The aim of the Running Game strategy is to bring all your checkers into your inner board and pull them off as quickly as you could. This technique focuses on the pace of advancing your chips with absolutely no time spent to hit or block your competitor’s chips. The ideal scenario to use this strategy is when you think you might be able to move your own pieces faster than your opposing player does: when 1) you have less pieces on the board; 2) all your checkers have past your opponent’s chips; or 3) the opposing player does not use the hitting or blocking tactic.
The Blocking Game Plan
The primary goal of the blocking technique, by its title, is to block the competitor’s checkers, temporarily, while not worrying about moving your checkers rapidly. As soon as you have established the blockage for your opponent’s movement with a few checkers, you can move your other chips swiftly off the game board. You should also have a clear strategy when to extract and shift the pieces that you utilized for blocking. The game gets interesting when your competitor uses the same blocking technique.
