The aim of a Backgammon game is to shift your checkers around the Backgammon board and bear them from the board faster than your opponent who works just as hard to do the same buthowever they move in the opposite direction. Winning a round in Backgammon requires both strategy and fortune. Just how far you can move your checkers is up to the numbers from tossing a pair of dice, and just how you move your checkers are determined by your overall playing techniques. Players use differing strategies in the differing stages of a match depending on your positions and opponent’s.
The Running Game Technique
The aim of the Running Game tactic is to entice all your checkers into your inside board and get them off as quick as you could. This tactic focuses on the pace of shifting your chips with little or no efforts to hit or stop your opponent’s pieces. The ideal scenario to use this strategy is when you believe you can move your own checkers faster than the opposition does: when 1) you have less chips on the game board; 2) all your checkers have past your opponent’s checkers; or 3) the opponent does not employ the hitting or blocking strategy.
The Blocking Game Tactic
The primary aim of the blocking strategy, by the name, is to block your competitor’s checkers, temporarily, while not fretting about moving your checkers rapidly. After you’ve created the barrier for your competitor’s movement with a couple of chips, you can shift your other checkers quickly off the game board. You will need to also have a clear plan when to extract and shift the pieces that you employed for the blockade. The game becomes interesting when your competitor uses the same blocking strategy.
