The objective of a Backgammon game is to shift your pieces around the Backgammon board and bear them from the game board quicker than your competitor who works just as hard to do the same buthowever they move in the opposite direction. Succeeding in a round in Backgammon requires both tactics and fortune. How far you can shift your pieces is left to the numbers from rolling a pair of dice, and how you move your chips are decided on by your overall playing strategies. Players use a number of plans in the differing parts of a game based on your positions and opponent’s.
The Running Game Tactic
The aim of the Running Game tactic is to bring all your checkers into your inner board and bear them off as quick as you could. This technique concentrates on the speed of advancing your pieces with absolutely no efforts to hit or stop your competitor’s pieces. The best time to use this technique is when you think you can move your own pieces quicker than the opposing player does: when 1) you have less checkers on the board; 2) all your chips have moved beyond your opponent’s pieces; or 3) your opponent doesn’t use the hitting or blocking plan.
The Blocking Game Plan
The primary aim of the blocking tactic, by its title, is to block the opponent’s checkers, temporarily, while not worrying about moving your pieces quickly. As soon as you’ve established the blockade for your opponent’s movement with a couple of chips, you can shift your other checkers quickly from the game board. You should also have an apparent plan when to withdraw and move the chips that you employed for the blockade. The game gets interesting when your opponent utilizes the same blocking technique.
