The objective of a Backgammon match is to move your checkers around the game board and bear those pieces from the board faster than your competitor who works just as hard to do the same buthowever they move in the opposite direction. Succeeding in a round in Backgammon requires both tactics and luck. Just how far you will be able to shift your checkers is left to the numbers from tossing a pair of dice, and just how you shift your chips are determined by your overall gambling tactics. Enthusiasts use a few tactics in the differing parts of a match dependent on your positions and opponent’s.

The Running Game Tactic

The goal of the Running Game technique is to bring all your chips into your inner board and get them off as fast as you can. This technique focuses on the pace of advancing your checkers with little or no time spent to hit or stop your opponent’s chips. The ideal scenario to employ this tactic is when you think you might be able to move your own pieces faster than the opposing player does: when 1) you have less pieces on the game board; 2) all your checkers have past your competitor’s chips; or 3) your opponent does not employ the hitting or blocking technique.

The Blocking Game Strategy

The primary goal of the blocking strategy, by its title, is to stop your opponent’s chips, temporarily, not fretting about moving your checkers rapidly. Once you’ve established the blockade for the opponent’s movement with a couple of checkers, you can shift your other pieces swiftly from the board. You will need to also have a good plan when to withdraw and move the checkers that you employed for the blockade. The game gets intriguing when your opponent utilizes the same blocking tactic.
