The aim of a Backgammon match is to move your chips around the Backgammon board and get those pieces from the board quicker than your opponent who works harder to attempt the same buthowever they move in the opposite direction. Winning a round of Backgammon requires both tactics and luck. Just how far you can shift your checkers is up to the numbers from tossing the dice, and just how you shift your chips are decided on by your overall playing techniques. Players use a few tactics in the different stages of a match depending on your positions and opponent’s.
The Running Game Technique
The goal of the Running Game tactic is to lure all your chips into your inside board and pull them off as quickly as you can. This technique concentrates on the pace of moving your checkers with little or no efforts to hit or block your opponent’s chips. The best scenario to employ this tactic is when you think you might be able to move your own pieces faster than your opponent does: when 1) you have a fewer checkers on the game board; 2) all your chips have moved beyond your competitor’s checkers; or 3) the opponent doesn’t employ the hitting or blocking tactic.
The Blocking Game Technique
The main aim of the blocking technique, by the name, is to block the competitor’s pieces, temporarily, not fretting about shifting your pieces rapidly. As soon as you’ve established the blockade for the competitor’s movement with a few checkers, you can shift your other pieces swiftly off the game board. You really should also have a good strategy when to withdraw and shift the checkers that you utilized for the blockade. The game becomes interesting when the opposition utilizes the same blocking tactic.
