The objective of a Backgammon match is to move your pieces around the Backgammon board and get them from the game board quicker than your challenger who works just as hard to attempt the same buthowever they move in the opposite direction. Winning a match of Backgammon needsrequires both strategy and good luck. Just how far you will be able to move your checkers is up to the numbers from tossing the dices, and how you move your chips are determined by your overall playing plans. Players use different strategies in the different stages of a match dependent on your positions and opponent’s.

The Running Game Plan

The goal of the Running Game technique is to bring all your pieces into your inner board and bear them off as quick as you can. This strategy concentrates on the pace of shifting your chips with little or no time spent to hit or stop your opponent’s checkers. The ideal time to use this tactic is when you think you can shift your own checkers faster than the opponent does: when 1) you have less checkers on the game board; 2) all your checkers have moved beyond your competitor’s checkers; or 3) the opposing player does not use the hitting or blocking strategy.

The Blocking Game Plan

The primary goal of the blocking strategy, by the title, is to block the opponent’s chips, temporarily, while not fretting about shifting your chips rapidly. As soon as you’ve established the blockage for your opponent’s movement with a few chips, you can move your other checkers quickly from the game board. The player should also have a good plan when to withdraw and shift the pieces that you utilized for blocking. The game becomes interesting when your opponent utilizes the same blocking technique.
