The aim of a Backgammon match is to move your checkers around the Backgammon board and pull them off the board quicker than your challenger who works just as hard to do the same buthowever they move in the opposing direction. Succeeding in a game in Backgammon requires both tactics and good luck. How far you will be able to move your pieces is left to the numbers from rolling the dice, and the way you shift your pieces are determined by your overall gambling techniques. Players use different strategies in the differing parts of a game based on your positions and opponent’s.
The Running Game Tactic
The goal of the Running Game technique is to entice all your pieces into your home board and bear them off as fast as you could. This strategy concentrates on the speed of advancing your chips with little or no efforts to hit or barricade your opponent’s pieces. The best time to use this technique is when you think you might be able to shift your own chips faster than the opponent 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 Plan
The primary goal of the blocking technique, by its title, is to stop the opponent’s pieces, temporarily, while not worrying about moving your pieces quickly. Once you’ve established the blockade for your competitor’s movement with a few checkers, you can move your other checkers swiftly off the board. The player should also have a clear strategy when to back off and shift the pieces that you employed for the blockade. The game gets intriguing when your opposition uses the same blocking tactic.
