The aim of a Backgammon match is to shift your chips around the Backgammon board and bear those pieces off the game board faster than your opposing player who works just as hard to achieve the same buthowever they move in the opposite direction. Succeeding in a match in Backgammon needsrequires both tactics and luck. Just how far you will be able to move your checkers is left to the numbers from tossing the dice, and how you shift your checkers are decided on by your overall playing techniques. Players use different plans in the differing stages of a match based on your positions and opponent’s.

The Running Game Plan

The aim of the Running Game plan is to entice all your chips into your inner board and pull them off as quickly as you could. This plan focuses on the pace of shifting your pieces with absolutely no time spent to hit or block your competitor’s chips. The ideal time to use this strategy is when you believe you might be able to shift your own chips faster than your opponent does: when 1) you have less chips on the board; 2) all your checkers have moved beyond your opponent’s pieces; or 3) your opposing player doesn’t use the hitting or blocking plan.

The Blocking Game Plan

The primary aim of the blocking tactic, by the name, is to stop the competitor’s checkers, temporarily, not worrying about moving your checkers rapidly. As soon as you’ve created the barrier for your opponent’s movement with a couple of pieces, you can move your other pieces rapidly off the game board. The player really should also have a good plan when to withdraw and shift the chips that you employed for blocking. The game becomes intriguing when your competitor utilizes the same blocking tactic.
