The objective of a Backgammon game is to move your pieces around the Backgammon board and pull those pieces off the game board faster than your competitor who works just as hard to attempt the same buthowever they move in the opposite direction. Winning a game in Backgammon requires both strategy and luck. Just how far you can shift your chips is up to the numbers from tossing a pair of dice, and the way you move your chips are determined by your overall gambling techniques. Players use different techniques in the differing parts of a game depending on your positions and opponent’s.
The Running Game Technique
The goal of the Running Game tactic is to entice all your checkers into your home board and pull them off as fast as you could. This tactic concentrates on the speed of moving your chips with absolutely no efforts to hit or block your competitor’s pieces. The ideal scenario to employ this technique is when you think you can move your own checkers quicker than your opposition does: when 1) you have less chips on the board; 2) all your chips have moved beyond your opponent’s checkers; or 3) your opponent doesn’t employ the hitting or blocking plan.
The Blocking Game Strategy
The main goal of the blocking tactic, by its name, is to stop your competitor’s pieces, temporarily, while not worrying about shifting your checkers quickly. After you have created the blockade for your competitor’s movement with a couple of pieces, you can move your other chips swiftly from the game board. The player will need to also have a good plan when to back off and move the checkers that you employed for the blockade. The game gets interesting when your opponent uses the same blocking strategy.
