The objective of a Backgammon match is to shift your chips around the Backgammon board and bear those pieces off the board quicker than your opponent who works just as hard to achieve the same buthowever they move in the opposite direction. Succeeding in a game in Backgammon needsrequires both strategy and fortune. Just how far you will be able to shift your checkers is left to the numbers from rolling a pair of dice, and the way you move your pieces are determined by your overall playing techniques. Enthusiasts use differing tactics in the differing stages of a match based on your positions and opponent’s.

The Running Game Strategy

The goal of the Running Game plan is to bring all your checkers into your inner board and get them off as quickly as you can. This tactic concentrates on the pace of shifting your chips with no efforts to hit or barricade your competitor’s pieces. The ideal scenario to use this strategy is when you think you can move your own checkers faster than your opposing player does: when 1) you have less checkers on the game board; 2) all your chips have moved beyond your competitor’s pieces; or 3) the opposing player does not use the hitting or blocking plan.

The Blocking Game Strategy

The primary goal of the blocking strategy, by its title, is to stop the opponent’s pieces, temporarily, while not worrying about moving your chips quickly. As soon as you’ve established the barrier for your opponent’s movement with a couple of pieces, you can move your other checkers quickly off the game board. The player will need to also have a good plan when to extract and shift the pieces that you used for the blockade. The game becomes intriguing when the competitor uses the same blocking tactic.
