The objective of a Backgammon match is to shift your pieces around the Backgammon board and get them off the board faster than your competitor who works just as hard to do the same buthowever they move in the opposing direction. Succeeding in a game in Backgammon requires both strategy and luck. How far you will be able to shift your pieces is up to the numbers from rolling a pair of dice, and the way you shift your pieces are decided on by your overall playing techniques. Players use a number of strategies in the differing parts of a match depending on your positions and opponent’s.
The Running Game Tactic
The goal of the Running Game plan is to entice all your pieces into your inner board and bear them off as quick as you could. This tactic concentrates on the speed of advancing your pieces with no time spent to hit or stop your competitor’s pieces. The ideal time to use this technique is when you think you might be able to shift your own pieces faster than your opposing player does: when 1) you have less chips on the game board; 2) all your checkers have past your opponent’s checkers; or 3) your opposing player does not use the hitting or blocking plan.
The Blocking Game Technique
The primary goal of the blocking strategy, by its title, is to stop your competitor’s chips, temporarily, not fretting about moving your pieces quickly. As soon as you’ve created the barrier for your competitor’s movement with a couple of checkers, you can move your other checkers quickly off the game board. The player should also have a good strategy when to back off and move the chips that you employed for the blockade. The game becomes interesting when the competitor uses the same blocking technique.
