The aim of a Backgammon game is to shift your checkers around the game board and bear them off the game board quicker than your opponent who works just as hard to attempt the same buthowever they move in the opposing direction. Winning a game of Backgammon needsrequires both tactics and fortune. How far you can move your checkers is up to the numbers from tossing a pair of dice, and the way you shift your checkers are determined by your overall gambling plans. Enthusiasts use a number of tactics in the differing stages of a match depending on your positions and opponent’s.

The Running Game Tactic

The aim of the Running Game technique is to lure all your checkers into your inside board and bear them off as quick as you can. This technique concentrates on the pace of advancing your checkers with absolutely no efforts to hit or block your competitor’s checkers. The best scenario to employ this tactic is when you believe you can shift your own chips a lot faster than the opponent does: when 1) you have less chips on the game board; 2) all your chips have moved beyond your opponent’s pieces; or 3) your opposing player does not employ the hitting or blocking strategy.

The Blocking Game Technique

The primary aim of the blocking strategy, by the title, is to block your competitor’s checkers, temporarily, while not worrying about moving your checkers quickly. Once you’ve created the barrier for the opponent’s movement with a few chips, you can move your other checkers rapidly off the board. You should also have a clear plan when to extract and move the checkers that you used for the blockade. The game becomes intriguing when the competitor utilizes the same blocking technique.
