The objective of a Backgammon match is to move your pieces around the Backgammon board and bear those pieces from the board quicker than your challenger who works just as hard to achieve the same buthowever they move in the opposing direction. Winning a game of Backgammon requires both tactics and good luck. Just how far you can move your chips is up to the numbers from rolling a pair of dice, and the way you move your chips are decided on by your overall playing tactics. Enthusiasts use a number of strategies in the different stages of a match depending on your positions and opponent’s.

The Running Game Strategy

The aim of the Running Game technique is to bring all your pieces into your inner board and bear them off as fast as you could. This strategy concentrates on the pace of shifting your chips with little or no time spent to hit or barricade your opponent’s pieces. The ideal time to use this plan is when you think you might be able to move your own chips a lot faster than the opposing player does: when 1) you have a fewer chips on the board; 2) all your chips have moved beyond your competitor’s chips; or 3) your opponent does not use the hitting or blocking strategy.

The Blocking Game Technique

The main goal of the blocking plan, by its name, is to block your opponent’s pieces, temporarily, not worrying about moving your chips quickly. Once you have created the barrier for your opponent’s movement with a couple of chips, you can shift your other pieces rapidly from the board. You really should also have a clear strategy when to back off and move the chips that you utilized for blocking. The game gets interesting when the opposition utilizes the same blocking strategy.
