The aim of a Backgammon match is to shift your chips around the game board and get those pieces from the board quicker than your challenger who works just as hard to do the same buthowever they move in the opposing direction. Succeeding in a round in Backgammon needsrequires both strategy and fortune. Just how far you can shift your checkers is up to the numbers from tossing a pair of dice, and how you shift your pieces are decided on by your overall playing tactics. Players use differing techniques in the differing parts of a match depending on your positions and opponent’s.

The Running Game Plan

The goal of the Running Game tactic is to bring all your checkers into your inner board and pull them off as quick as you could. This plan concentrates on the pace of advancing your checkers with no time spent to hit or barricade your opponent’s chips. The ideal time to use this plan is when you believe you can shift your own pieces faster than the opposition does: when 1) you have a fewer pieces on the board; 2) all your checkers have past your competitor’s checkers; or 3) your opposing player doesn’t use the hitting or blocking technique.

The Blocking Game Strategy

The main goal of the blocking strategy, by the title, is to block the competitor’s checkers, temporarily, while not fretting about moving your checkers quickly. After you’ve established the blockage for your opponent’s movement with a couple of chips, you can move your other chips quickly from the game board. The player will need to also have a good strategy when to withdraw and shift the chips that you utilized for blocking. The game becomes interesting when your competitor uses the same blocking strategy.
