The objective of a Backgammon match is to shift your pieces around the Backgammon board and pull them from the game board faster than your challenger who works harder to achieve the same buthowever they move in the opposite direction. Succeeding in a match in Backgammon needsrequires both strategy and fortune. How far you can move your chips is left to the numbers from rolling a pair of dice, and just how you move your pieces are determined by your overall gambling plans. Enthusiasts use differing tactics in the differing stages of a game based on your positions and opponent’s.

The Running Game Strategy

The goal of the Running Game strategy is to bring all your checkers into your inner board and get them off as quickly as you can. This tactic focuses on the speed of advancing your checkers with absolutely no efforts to hit or barricade your opponent’s pieces. The ideal time to use this strategy is when you believe you can shift your own checkers a lot faster than your opposition does: when 1) you have less checkers on the board; 2) all your chips have moved beyond your opponent’s checkers; or 3) the opposing player doesn’t employ the hitting or blocking tactic.

The Blocking Game Plan

The primary aim of the blocking plan, by its title, is to stop the competitor’s pieces, temporarily, not worrying about moving your chips quickly. As soon as you’ve created the barrier for your competitor’s movement with a few checkers, you can move your other chips rapidly off the game board. The player really should also have a good plan when to withdraw and shift the chips that you used for the blockade. The game becomes interesting when your opponent uses the same blocking strategy.
