The aim of a Backgammon match is to shift your checkers around the game board and pull them from the board quicker than your opponent who works just as hard to achieve the same buthowever they move in the opposite direction. Succeeding in a match of Backgammon needsrequires both strategy and luck. Just how far you will be able to move your chips is left to the numbers from rolling the dice, and just how you shift your chips are determined by your overall gambling strategies. Players use differing tactics in the different stages of a game depending on your positions and opponent’s.

The Running Game Strategy

The goal of the Running Game tactic is to entice all your pieces into your home board and get them off as quick as you could. This plan concentrates on the pace of shifting your checkers with absolutely no efforts to hit or barricade your competitor’s pieces. The ideal time to use this strategy is when you think you might be able to move your own pieces faster than the opponent does: when 1) you have a fewer checkers on the game board; 2) all your chips have moved beyond your competitor’s chips; or 3) your opposing player does not use the hitting or blocking technique.

The Blocking Game Technique

The primary goal of the blocking plan, by its title, is to stop the competitor’s pieces, temporarily, while not worrying about moving your pieces quickly. After you’ve created the blockage for your opponent’s movement with a couple of checkers, you can move your other chips quickly from the board. You should also have a good plan when to back off and shift the checkers that you utilized for the blockade. The game becomes interesting when your opponent utilizes the same blocking strategy.
