The aim of a Backgammon match is to move your chips around the game board and bear them from the game board faster than your competitor who works just as hard to achieve the same buthowever they move in the opposing direction. Succeeding in a round in Backgammon requires both strategy and luck. How far you will be able to move your checkers is up to the numbers from rolling the dice, and just how you shift your pieces are determined by your overall gambling plans. Players use different strategies in the different parts of a match dependent on your positions and opponent’s.

The Running Game Plan

The goal of the Running Game tactic is to entice all your pieces into your inside board and bear them off as quickly as you can. This technique concentrates on the speed of moving your pieces with absolutely no time spent to hit or stop your opponent’s chips. The best scenario to employ this strategy is when you believe you can shift your own chips a lot faster than the opponent does: when 1) you have a fewer checkers on the game board; 2) all your checkers have past your competitor’s checkers; or 3) your opposing player doesn’t employ the hitting or blocking technique.

The Blocking Game Technique

The main goal of the blocking technique, by the title, is to stop the opponent’s chips, temporarily, while not fretting about moving your chips quickly. After you have established the blockage for your competitor’s movement with a couple of chips, you can move your other chips quickly off the game board. The player should also have a clear plan when to back off and shift the checkers that you used for the blockade. The game becomes interesting when the opponent utilizes the same blocking strategy.
