The aim of a Backgammon match is to move your chips around the Backgammon board and pull those pieces from the game board quicker than your challenger who works just as hard to achieve 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 chips is left to the numbers from tossing a pair of dice, and the way you move your checkers are determined by your overall playing techniques. Players use a few plans in the different parts of a game depending 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 inside board and get them off as fast as you could. This strategy concentrates on the speed of advancing your pieces with absolutely no efforts to hit or barricade your opponent’s pieces. The best scenario to use this strategy is when you think you might be able to shift your own pieces a lot faster than your opposing player does: when 1) you have a fewer pieces on the board; 2) all your checkers have moved beyond your opponent’s chips; or 3) the opponent does not use the hitting or blocking technique.

The Blocking Game Technique

The main aim of the blocking strategy, by its name, is to block the competitor’s pieces, temporarily, while not worrying about shifting your chips quickly. Once you’ve created the blockage for the opponent’s movement with a few checkers, you can shift your other pieces swiftly from the game board. You will need to also have a good plan when to back off and shift the chips that you employed for the blockade. The game becomes interesting when the opponent utilizes the same blocking strategy.
