The aim of a Backgammon match is to move your checkers around the game board and pull those pieces from the game board faster than your challenger who works just as hard to achieve the same buthowever they move in the opposing direction. Winning a match in Backgammon needsrequires both strategy and luck. Just how far you can move your checkers is up to the numbers from tossing a pair of dice, and the way you move your chips are decided on by your overall gambling strategies. Players use a number of plans in the different parts of a match based on your positions and opponent’s.

The Running Game Plan

The goal of the Running Game strategy is to bring all your chips into your home board and bear them off as quick as you could. This plan concentrates on the speed of advancing your checkers with no efforts to hit or barricade your opponent’s chips. The ideal scenario to employ this tactic is when you believe you can move your own pieces faster than the opponent does: when 1) you have less checkers on the board; 2) all your checkers have moved beyond your competitor’s chips; or 3) your opposing player doesn’t use the hitting or blocking plan.

The Blocking Game Plan

The primary aim of the blocking strategy, by its title, is to block your opponent’s checkers, temporarily, while not fretting about shifting your chips quickly. After you have created the barrier for the competitor’s movement with a few checkers, you can move your other chips swiftly from the game board. You should also have an apparent plan when to withdraw and move the chips that you utilized for the blockade. The game gets interesting when the competitor uses the same blocking strategy.
