The aim of a Backgammon match is to shift your chips around the Backgammon board and get them from the board faster than your competitor who works just as hard to achieve the same buthowever they move in the opposite direction. Succeeding in a match of Backgammon requires both strategy and fortune. Just how far you will be able to shift your chips is up to the numbers from rolling a pair of dice, and the way you move your chips are decided on by your overall gambling tactics. Enthusiasts use a number of plans in the differing parts of a match based on your positions and opponent’s.

The Running Game Plan

The aim of the Running Game strategy is to entice all your pieces into your home board and get them off as quick as you can. This tactic concentrates on the speed of shifting your pieces with no time spent to hit or barricade your competitor’s chips. The ideal scenario to employ this technique is when you believe you might be able to shift your own checkers quicker than your opponent does: when 1) you have a fewer chips on the game board; 2) all your checkers have past your opponent’s checkers; or 3) your opposing player doesn’t use the hitting or blocking tactic.

The Blocking Game Technique

The main goal of the blocking technique, by the name, is to block the opponent’s chips, temporarily, while not fretting about moving your checkers quickly. After you’ve created the blockade for the competitor’s movement with a few checkers, you can move your other pieces quickly off the board. You should also have an apparent strategy when to back off and shift the checkers that you used for blocking. The game gets intriguing when your competitor uses the same blocking technique.
