Winning a round in Backgammon needsrequires both strategy and good luck. How far you will be able to shift your pieces is left to the numbers from tossing a pair of dice, and how you move your pieces are decided on by your overall playing plans. Enthusiasts use a few strategies in the different parts of a game depending on your positions and opponent’s.

The Running Game Plan

The aim of the Running Game technique is to entice all your chips into your inner board and pull them off as quick as you can. This technique concentrates on the speed of shifting your chips with no time spent to hit or block your opponent’s checkers. The best scenario to use this plan is when you think you can move your own checkers faster than your opposing player does: when 1) you have a fewer chips on the game board; 2) all your pieces have moved beyond your competitor’s checkers; or 3) your opponent doesn’t use the hitting or blocking technique.

The Blocking Game Plan

The main goal of the blocking technique, by its title, is to block your competitor’s checkers, temporarily, while not worrying about shifting your chips quickly. After you’ve established the blockage for the competitor’s movement with a couple of chips, you can move your other checkers rapidly from the game board. You should also have a clear plan when to back off and shift the chips that you utilized for blocking. The game becomes intriguing when the opposition utilizes the same blocking technique.
