The goal of a Backgammon match is to shift your pieces around the game board and bear those pieces from the board faster than your challenger who works harder to attempt the same buthowever they move in the opposite direction. Winning a match of Backgammon needsrequires both tactics and good luck. How far you will be able to move your chips is left to the numbers from tossing the dice, and how you shift your chips are determined by your overall playing plans. Players use different techniques in the differing parts of a game based on your positions and opponent’s.

The Running Game Plan

The aim of the Running Game plan is to bring all your pieces into your inside board and bear them off as fast as you could. This technique focuses on the speed of advancing your chips with little or no time spent to hit or block your opponent’s pieces. The best time to use this technique is when you think you might be able to shift your own chips quicker than the opposition does: when 1) you have a fewer checkers on the game board; 2) all your checkers have past your opponent’s pieces; or 3) your opposing player doesn’t employ the hitting or blocking plan.

The Blocking Game Tactic

The main goal of the blocking technique, by the name, is to stop your competitor’s chips, temporarily, while not worrying about moving your checkers rapidly. Once you have established the barrier for your competitor’s movement with a few checkers, you can shift your other chips swiftly from the game board. The player should also have an apparent strategy when to back off and move the pieces that you used for the blockade. The game gets intriguing when your opponent utilizes the same blocking technique.
