The objective of a Backgammon game is to shift your chips around the game board and get them off the game board quicker than your opposing player who works just as hard to achieve the same buthowever they move in the opposite direction. Winning a game in Backgammon needsrequires both tactics and luck. How far you will be able to shift your chips is up to the numbers from rolling a pair of dice, and the way you move your checkers are determined by your overall playing techniques. Enthusiasts use differing tactics in the different parts of a match depending on your positions and opponent’s.
The Running Game Strategy
The goal of the Running Game strategy is to bring all your chips into your inner board and get them off as fast as you could. This tactic focuses on the speed of shifting your chips with no time spent to hit or barricade your opponent’s chips. The best scenario to employ this tactic is when you believe you might be able to move your own pieces a lot faster than your opposing player does: when 1) you have less checkers on the board; 2) all your pieces have past your opponent’s chips; or 3) the opponent does not use the hitting or blocking strategy.
The Blocking Game Tactic
The primary goal of the blocking strategy, by its title, is to stop the competitor’s chips, temporarily, not worrying about moving your pieces quickly. As soon as you’ve created the blockage for your competitor’s movement with a few pieces, you can shift your other checkers rapidly off the board. You will need to also have an apparent strategy when to extract and move the checkers that you employed for blocking. The game gets intriguing when your opponent utilizes the same blocking technique.
