The aim of a Backgammon match is to move your chips around the game board and pull them off the game board faster than your challenger who works harder to do the same buthowever they move in the opposing direction. Succeeding in a round in Backgammon needsrequires both tactics and fortune. Just how far you will be able to move your chips is left to the numbers from tossing the dice, and just how you shift your chips are determined by your overall playing techniques. Enthusiasts use different tactics in the different parts of a match depending on your positions and opponent’s.

The Running Game Plan

The aim of the Running Game tactic is to entice all your chips into your home board and pull them off as quick as you could. This plan concentrates on the speed of moving your pieces with absolutely no time spent to hit or stop your opponent’s pieces. The ideal scenario to use this tactic is when you believe you might be able to move your own checkers a lot faster than your opposition does: when 1) you have less checkers on the game board; 2) all your checkers have past your opponent’s chips; or 3) the opposing player does not employ the hitting or blocking technique.

The Blocking Game Technique

The main aim of the blocking plan, by its title, is to block your opponent’s chips, temporarily, while not fretting about moving your chips quickly. Once you’ve established the blockage for the competitor’s movement with a couple of checkers, you can move your other chips rapidly from the game board. You should also have a good plan when to extract and shift the checkers that you used for the blockade. The game becomes intriguing when your opposition uses the same blocking technique.
