The aim of a Backgammon game is to move your checkers around the game board and bear them off the game board quicker than your challenger who works just as hard to achieve the same buthowever they move in the opposite direction. Winning a round in Backgammon needsrequires both strategy and luck. How far you can move your chips is up to the numbers from tossing the dice, and the way you move your chips are decided on by your overall playing strategies. Players use differing strategies in the different parts of a game based on your positions and opponent’s.

The Running Game Strategy

The aim of the Running Game technique is to entice all your chips into your inner board and get them off as fast as you can. This tactic concentrates on the pace of shifting your pieces with absolutely no efforts to hit or stop your opponent’s checkers. The best time to use this technique is when you think you might be able to shift your own pieces faster than the opposing player does: when 1) you have a fewer checkers on the board; 2) all your pieces have past your competitor’s chips; or 3) your opponent does not employ the hitting or blocking tactic.

The Blocking Game Tactic

The main aim of the blocking strategy, by the name, is to stop the opponent’s chips, temporarily, while not worrying about shifting your pieces quickly. Once you have created the blockage for the opponent’s movement with a few pieces, you can shift your other pieces swiftly from the board. You really should also have a clear plan when to back off and shift the checkers that you employed for the blockade. The game gets interesting when your opponent uses the same blocking technique.
