The goal of a Backgammon match is to shift your chips around the game board and pull them from the board faster than your challenger who works harder to achieve the same buthowever they move in the opposing direction. Succeeding in a round in Backgammon requires both tactics and good luck. Just how far you will be able to move your chips is up to the numbers from tossing a pair of dice, and the way you move your chips are determined by your overall playing plans. Players use different plans in the different stages of a match dependent on your positions and opponent’s.
The Running Game Tactic
The goal of the Running Game plan is to entice all your pieces into your inside board and bear them off as fast as you can. This technique focuses on the pace of shifting your checkers with absolutely no efforts to hit or barricade your competitor’s pieces. The ideal scenario to use this technique is when you believe you might be able to shift your own chips a lot faster than your opponent does: when 1) you have less pieces on the board; 2) all your pieces have past your opponent’s pieces; or 3) the opponent doesn’t use the hitting or blocking technique.
The Blocking Game Technique
The main goal of the blocking tactic, by the title, is to stop the opponent’s checkers, temporarily, not worrying about shifting your pieces quickly. After you’ve established the blockage for your competitor’s movement with a few checkers, you can shift your other pieces quickly from the board. You will need to also have a good strategy when to extract and shift the checkers that you used for the blockade. The game becomes intriguing when the competitor utilizes the same blocking tactic.
