The aim of a Backgammon match is to move your pieces around the game board and get them from the game board faster than your competitor who works harder to attempt the same buthowever they move in the opposing direction. Succeeding in a game in Backgammon needsrequires both strategy and fortune. How far you can shift your chips is left to the numbers from rolling the dice, and the way you shift your chips are determined by your overall playing strategies. Players use different techniques in the differing parts of a game based on your positions and opponent’s.

The Running Game Tactic

The aim of the Running Game technique is to entice all your pieces into your inner board and pull them off as fast as you could. This technique focuses on the pace of moving your pieces with absolutely no time spent to hit or barricade your competitor’s checkers. The ideal time to employ this tactic is when you believe you might be able to move your own chips quicker than the opposing player does: when 1) you have a fewer checkers on the game board; 2) all your checkers have past your opponent’s pieces; or 3) your opposing player doesn’t employ the hitting or blocking technique.

The Blocking Game Strategy

The primary goal of the blocking tactic, by its title, is to stop your opponent’s pieces, temporarily, while not fretting about moving your pieces rapidly. After you have created the barrier for the opponent’s movement with a couple of pieces, you can move your other checkers rapidly off the game board. You will need to also have a clear plan when to extract and move the pieces that you employed for blocking. The game becomes intriguing when your opponent uses the same blocking tactic.
