Winning a match in Backgammon needsrequires both strategy and luck. How far you will be able to move your checkers is up to the numbers from tossing the dice, and how you shift your pieces are determined by your overall playing strategies. Enthusiasts use a number of plans in the different stages of a game depending on your positions and opponent’s.

The Running Game Tactic

The goal of the Running Game tactic is to bring all your chips into your home board and get them off as quick as you can. This technique concentrates on the speed of shifting your chips with no efforts to hit or stop your competitor’s pieces. The best scenario to employ this strategy is when you believe you might be able to move your own pieces quicker than your opposing player does: when 1) you have a fewer chips on the board; 2) all your checkers have moved beyond your opponent’s checkers; or 3) the opponent does not use the hitting or blocking tactic.

The Blocking Game Technique

The primary aim of the blocking strategy, by its name, is to stop the competitor’s chips, temporarily, not worrying about moving your pieces rapidly. As soon as you’ve established the blockade for your competitor’s movement with a couple of pieces, you can shift your other chips quickly off the game board. You will need to also have an apparent plan when to withdraw and shift the pieces that you utilized for the blockade. The game becomes interesting when the opponent utilizes the same blocking tactic.
