The aim of a Backgammon match is to shift your pieces around the game board and get them off the board faster than your competitor who works harder to attempt the same buthowever they move in the opposite direction. Winning a match of Backgammon needsrequires both strategy and fortune. How far you will be able to shift your pieces is up to the numbers from rolling a pair of dice, and the way you shift your chips are determined by your overall gambling tactics. Players use differing strategies in the different stages of a match dependent on your positions and opponent’s.

The Running Game Technique

The goal of the Running Game plan is to bring all your checkers into your home board and bear them off as fast as you can. This technique concentrates on the speed of shifting your pieces with no efforts to hit or block your opponent’s checkers. The best scenario to use this strategy is when you think you can move your own chips faster than the opposition does: when 1) you have a fewer pieces on the board; 2) all your chips have past your opponent’s checkers; or 3) your opponent does not use the hitting or blocking tactic.

The Blocking Game Tactic

The primary aim of the blocking plan, by its title, is to stop the opponent’s chips, temporarily, not fretting about shifting your chips rapidly. Once you have established the blockage for the competitor’s movement with a couple of checkers, you can move your other chips quickly off the game board. The player should also have a good strategy when to withdraw and shift the chips that you utilized for the blockade. The game becomes interesting when your opponent uses the same blocking strategy.
