The aim of a Backgammon match is to move your checkers around the game board and bear them from the game board quicker than your opponent who works harder to attempt the same buthowever they move in the opposite direction. Succeeding in a game of Backgammon needsrequires both tactics and luck. How far you can move your chips is up to the numbers from tossing the dice, and how you shift your chips are determined by your overall playing tactics. Players use a number of techniques in the different stages of a game based on your positions and opponent’s.

The Running Game Plan

The aim of the Running Game strategy is to lure all your pieces into your home board and pull them off as fast as you can. This tactic concentrates on the pace of moving your pieces with little or no efforts to hit or stop your competitor’s chips. The ideal time to use this plan is when you believe you can shift your own chips quicker than the opponent does: when 1) you have a fewer pieces on the board; 2) all your chips have moved beyond your competitor’s pieces; or 3) your opposing player does not employ the hitting or blocking strategy.

The Blocking Game Technique

The primary aim of the blocking strategy, by the title, is to block your opponent’s pieces, temporarily, not fretting about shifting your checkers quickly. As soon as you have created the barrier for the opponent’s movement with a couple of checkers, you can shift your other pieces quickly off the board. You will need to also have a good plan when to extract and shift the chips that you used for the blockade. The game becomes intriguing when your opponent utilizes the same blocking technique.
