The goal of a Backgammon game is to move your checkers around the Backgammon board and bear those pieces from the game board quicker than your competitor who works just as hard to attempt the same buthowever they move in the opposing direction. Succeeding in a match of Backgammon needsrequires both strategy and luck. How far you will be able to shift your chips is up to the numbers from rolling the dice, and the way you move your checkers are decided on by your overall gambling plans. Players use a number of techniques in the different stages of a match dependent on your positions and opponent’s.

The Running Game Tactic

The aim of the Running Game plan is to lure all your checkers into your inner board and bear them off as quickly as you can. This plan focuses on the speed of advancing your checkers with absolutely no efforts to hit or block your competitor’s chips. The best scenario to employ this strategy is when you believe you might be able to move your own checkers faster than the opponent does: when 1) you have a fewer pieces on the board; 2) all your checkers have past your competitor’s pieces; or 3) the opponent doesn’t employ the hitting or blocking tactic.

The Blocking Game Technique

The main goal of the blocking technique, by the name, is to block your competitor’s checkers, temporarily, while not worrying about shifting your pieces rapidly. As soon as you’ve created the barrier for your opponent’s movement with a couple of chips, you can move your other chips quickly off the board. You will need to also have a clear strategy when to extract and move the pieces that you employed for blocking. The game gets interesting when your opponent uses the same blocking technique.
