The aim of a Backgammon match is to shift your pieces around the Backgammon board and pull them off the game board faster than your opposing player who works harder to attempt the same buthowever they move in the opposing direction. Succeeding in a game in Backgammon needsrequires both strategy and fortune. How far you will be able to move your checkers is left to the numbers from rolling a pair of dice, and just how you move your checkers are decided on by your overall playing plans. Players use a number of techniques in the different parts of a match dependent on your positions and opponent’s.

The Running Game Tactic

The goal of the Running Game technique is to lure all your chips into your home board and bear them off as quick as you can. This tactic concentrates on the pace of moving your chips with absolutely no efforts to hit or stop your competitor’s chips. The ideal scenario to use this technique is when you think you can shift your own checkers quicker than your opposition does: when 1) you have a fewer chips on the game board; 2) all your pieces have past your opponent’s checkers; or 3) the opponent does not use the hitting or blocking technique.

The Blocking Game Technique

The main goal of the blocking technique, by its title, is to block the competitor’s chips, temporarily, while not worrying about shifting your chips quickly. Once you have established the barrier for your opponent’s movement with a few checkers, you can move your other chips swiftly off the board. You will need to also have a clear strategy when to withdraw and move the chips that you employed for blocking. The game gets intriguing when your opposition uses the same blocking technique.
