The goal of a Backgammon game is to move your pieces around the Backgammon board and pull those pieces off the board faster than your opposing player who works just as hard to achieve the same buthowever they move in the opposing direction. Succeeding in a match in Backgammon needsrequires both tactics and fortune. How far you can shift your chips is left to the numbers from rolling the dice, and the way you move your chips are determined by your overall playing techniques. Enthusiasts use a number of plans in the different stages of a match based on your positions and opponent’s.

The Running Game Tactic

The aim of the Running Game strategy is to lure all your checkers into your inside board and get them off as quick as you can. This tactic focuses on the speed of moving your checkers with absolutely no time spent to hit or barricade your opponent’s pieces. The ideal scenario to use this technique is when you think you can move your own checkers faster than the opponent does: when 1) you have less chips on the game board; 2) all your chips have past your opponent’s chips; or 3) the opposing player does not employ the hitting or blocking technique.

The Blocking Game Technique

The main goal of the blocking strategy, by the title, is to block your opponent’s chips, temporarily, not fretting about shifting your chips rapidly. Once you’ve created the barrier for the opponent’s movement with a few chips, you can shift your other chips rapidly off the game board. The player should also have a good strategy when to withdraw and shift the pieces that you employed for blocking. The game gets interesting when your competitor utilizes the same blocking tactic.
