The aim of a Backgammon game is to move your chips around the game board and get those pieces from the game board faster than your competitor who works just as hard to do the same buthowever they move in the opposing direction. Succeeding in a game in Backgammon needsrequires both tactics and good luck. Just how far you will be able to shift your pieces is left to the numbers from rolling a pair of dice, and the way you shift your pieces are decided on by your overall playing techniques. Players use different plans in the differing parts of a game depending on your positions and opponent’s.

The Running Game Strategy

The aim of the Running Game plan is to entice all your pieces into your inside board and pull them off as quick as you could. This tactic focuses on the pace of moving your chips with absolutely no efforts to hit or block your competitor’s checkers. The ideal scenario to employ this strategy is when you think you can shift your own chips quicker than your opponent does: when 1) you have a fewer pieces on the board; 2) all your chips have past your competitor’s pieces; or 3) the opponent doesn’t employ the hitting or blocking tactic.

The Blocking Game Technique

The main aim of the blocking tactic, by the name, is to block your opponent’s chips, temporarily, while not worrying about moving your chips rapidly. After you’ve established the blockage for the opponent’s movement with a few pieces, you can shift your other chips swiftly from the board. You should also have a clear plan when to withdraw and move the checkers that you utilized for blocking. The game becomes intriguing when the competitor uses the same blocking tactic.
