The aim of a Backgammon game is to move your pieces around the Backgammon board and bear them off the game board faster 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 good luck. Just how far you can move your pieces is left to the numbers from tossing a pair of dice, and just how you shift your chips are decided on by your overall playing techniques. Players use different plans in the differing stages of a game depending on your positions and opponent’s.

The Running Game Technique

The aim of the Running Game tactic is to lure all your pieces into your inside board and bear them off as quick as you could. This tactic concentrates on the speed of moving your checkers with absolutely no efforts to hit or block your competitor’s checkers. The best time to use this plan is when you believe you might be able to move your own checkers faster than the opposing player does: when 1) you have less pieces on the game board; 2) all your pieces have past your competitor’s checkers; or 3) your opposing player doesn’t employ the hitting or blocking tactic.

The Blocking Game Tactic

The main goal of the blocking strategy, by the title, is to block the competitor’s pieces, temporarily, while not worrying about moving your pieces rapidly. Once you’ve created the blockage for your competitor’s movement with a couple of pieces, you can move your other checkers swiftly off the game board. You should also have an apparent plan when to back off and move the chips that you employed for blocking. The game becomes interesting when the competitor utilizes the same blocking technique.
