The goal of a Backgammon match is to shift your chips around the Backgammon board and pull them from the game board quicker than your opposing player who works harder to achieve 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 shift your pieces is up to the numbers from tossing a pair of dice, and the way you shift your checkers are decided on by your overall playing plans. Enthusiasts use a number of techniques in the differing parts of a match depending on your positions and opponent’s.

The Running Game Technique

The aim of the Running Game tactic is to entice all your checkers into your home board and get them off as quickly as you could. This plan concentrates on the speed of advancing your chips with no efforts to hit or stop your competitor’s checkers. The best time to use this tactic is when you think you might be able to shift your own chips faster than your opponent does: when 1) you have less checkers on the game board; 2) all your pieces have moved beyond your opponent’s checkers; or 3) your opposing player does not employ the hitting or blocking plan.

The Blocking Game Tactic

The main goal of the blocking strategy, by the title, is to stop the competitor’s checkers, temporarily, while not fretting about moving your checkers quickly. After you have established the blockade for your competitor’s movement with a couple of pieces, you can move your other chips quickly off the game board. You will need to also have a clear strategy when to back off and move the chips that you utilized for the blockade. The game becomes intriguing when the opponent uses the same blocking technique.
