The objective of a Backgammon match is to shift your pieces around the Backgammon board and bear them from the game board faster than your opposing player who works just as hard to do the same buthowever they move in the opposing direction. Winning a game in Backgammon requires both strategy and good luck. Just how far you will be able to shift your pieces is up to the numbers from tossing a pair of dice, and how you move your checkers are determined by your overall playing tactics. Enthusiasts use a few tactics in the different stages of a game depending on your positions and opponent’s.
The Running Game Technique
The goal of the Running Game tactic is to lure all your checkers into your inside board and pull them off as quickly as you can. This strategy focuses on the speed of advancing your pieces with absolutely no time spent to hit or block your competitor’s pieces. The ideal scenario to use this tactic is when you believe you can shift your own pieces quicker than your opposition does: when 1) you have less checkers on the game board; 2) all your pieces have past your opponent’s checkers; or 3) your opposing player does not use the hitting or blocking strategy.
The Blocking Game Strategy
The primary aim of the blocking technique, by its name, is to block the competitor’s pieces, temporarily, not worrying about shifting your pieces quickly. As soon as you have created the barrier for your competitor’s movement with a couple of checkers, you can shift your other chips quickly off the board. You really should also have an apparent strategy when to extract and move the checkers that you used for the blockade. The game becomes intriguing when the opponent uses the same blocking technique.
