Succeeding in a round in Backgammon requires both strategy and fortune. Just how far you can shift your pieces is left to the numbers from tossing a pair of dice, and how you shift your chips are determined by your overall playing techniques. Enthusiasts use a number of plans in the differing stages of a game dependent on your positions and opponent’s.

The Running Game Tactic

The goal of the Running Game strategy is to lure all your pieces into your inside board and bear them off as fast as you could. This strategy concentrates on the pace of shifting your checkers with little or no time spent to hit or stop your competitor’s checkers. The ideal scenario to employ this strategy is when you believe you can shift your own checkers quicker than your opposing player does: when 1) you have less checkers on the game board; 2) all your checkers have past your opponent’s pieces; or 3) the opponent does not employ the hitting or blocking tactic.

The Blocking Game Strategy

The primary aim of the blocking technique, by the title, is to block the competitor’s pieces, temporarily, not worrying about shifting your chips quickly. Once you’ve established the blockage for the opponent’s movement with a couple of pieces, you can shift your other chips swiftly off the board. You really should also have a good plan when to extract and move the pieces that you utilized for the blockade. The game becomes intriguing when your opposition utilizes the same blocking strategy.
