The goal of a Backgammon game is to move your chips around the Backgammon board and pull those pieces off the game board quicker than your challenger who works just as hard to attempt the same buthowever they move in the opposite direction. Succeeding in a game in Backgammon requires both strategy and luck. Just how far you can shift your pieces is up to the numbers from tossing a pair of dice, and just how you move your pieces are decided on by your overall playing plans. Players use different plans in the different parts of a game based on your positions and opponent’s.
The Running Game Technique
The aim of the Running Game technique is to bring all your chips into your inner board and bear them off as quickly as you can. This tactic concentrates on the speed of moving your pieces with little or no efforts to hit or stop your competitor’s pieces. The best scenario to use this technique is when you believe you can shift your own chips faster than the opposition does: when 1) you have a fewer checkers on the board; 2) all your checkers have moved beyond your competitor’s chips; or 3) the opponent doesn’t employ the hitting or blocking plan.
The Blocking Game Plan
The primary aim of the blocking tactic, by its name, is to block the opponent’s chips, temporarily, while not worrying about shifting your pieces quickly. After you’ve created the barrier for your opponent’s movement with a few pieces, you can shift your other checkers quickly from the game board. You really should also have a clear strategy when to withdraw and move the checkers that you used for blocking. The game gets interesting when the opposition utilizes the same blocking tactic.
