The goal of a Backgammon match is to shift your pieces around the Backgammon board and pull those pieces off the board quicker than your competitor who works harder to achieve the same buthowever they move in the opposite direction. Succeeding in a match in Backgammon needsrequires both tactics and good luck. How far you will be able to move your pieces is left to the numbers from rolling the dice, and the way you move your chips are decided on by your overall gambling plans. Players use differing techniques in the different parts of a game dependent on your positions and opponent’s.

The Running Game Technique

The goal of the Running Game strategy is to lure all your chips into your inside board and get them off as fast as you could. This technique concentrates on the pace of shifting your pieces with no efforts to hit or block your opponent’s checkers. The ideal scenario to use this technique is when you believe you might be able to move your own chips a lot faster than your opposing player 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 does not employ the hitting or blocking technique.

The Blocking Game Technique

The main aim of the blocking technique, by the title, is to block your competitor’s chips, temporarily, not worrying about shifting your checkers quickly. As soon as you’ve established the blockage for your competitor’s movement with a couple of pieces, you can shift your other pieces quickly off the board. The player will need to also have an apparent plan when to extract and shift the checkers that you used for blocking. The game becomes intriguing when your opposition uses the same blocking technique.
