The aim of a Backgammon game is to move your pieces around the game board and get those pieces from the board faster than your competitor who works harder to do the same buthowever they move in the opposing direction. Succeeding in a game of Backgammon requires both strategy and good luck. How far you can shift your checkers is up to the numbers from tossing a pair of dice, and the way you shift your pieces are decided on by your overall playing techniques. Enthusiasts use differing techniques in the different stages of a game dependent on your positions and opponent’s.
The Running Game Technique
The goal of the Running Game technique is to entice all your pieces into your inner board and bear them off as fast as you could. This plan focuses on the pace of advancing your chips with absolutely no time spent to hit or barricade your opponent’s pieces. The best scenario to employ this plan is when you believe you can move your own checkers quicker than your opposition does: when 1) you have less checkers on the game board; 2) all your pieces have past your opponent’s pieces; or 3) the opposing player does not employ the hitting or blocking plan.
The Blocking Game Technique
The main aim of the blocking tactic, by its title, is to stop your opponent’s pieces, temporarily, while not worrying about shifting your pieces quickly. As soon as you’ve created the barrier for the competitor’s movement with a couple of pieces, you can shift your other checkers swiftly from the game board. The player should also have an apparent strategy when to extract and move the pieces that you used for the blockade. The game gets intriguing when the opposition utilizes the same blocking strategy.
