The aim of a Backgammon match is to move your checkers around the game board and get those pieces from the board faster than your opposing player who works harder to achieve the same buthowever they move in the opposing direction. Succeeding in a game in Backgammon requires both tactics and luck. How far you will be able to shift your checkers is left to the numbers from rolling a pair of dice, and how you shift your checkers are determined by your overall gambling techniques. Enthusiasts use a few tactics in the differing parts of a match based on your positions and opponent’s.
The Running Game Tactic
The aim of the Running Game strategy is to lure all your checkers into your inside board and get them off as quick as you could. This technique focuses on the speed of advancing your chips with little or no time spent to hit or block your opponent’s checkers. The best scenario to use this technique is when you believe you might be able to move your own pieces faster than your opposition does: when 1) you have a fewer chips on the board; 2) all your pieces have moved beyond your opponent’s chips; or 3) your opposing player doesn’t employ the hitting or blocking tactic.
The Blocking Game Strategy
The primary goal of the blocking tactic, by the name, is to block the competitor’s checkers, temporarily, while not worrying about shifting your chips quickly. Once you have created the blockade for the opponent’s movement with a couple of pieces, you can move your other checkers swiftly off the board. The player should also have a clear plan when to extract and move the checkers that you utilized for the blockade. The game becomes interesting when the opponent utilizes the same blocking technique.
