The aim of a Backgammon match is to move your chips around the Backgammon board and pull them off the board faster than your opponent who works harder to attempt the same buthowever they move in the opposite direction. Succeeding in a round in Backgammon requires both strategy and good luck. Just how far you will be able to move your chips is left to the numbers from rolling a pair of dice, and the way you move your checkers are decided on by your overall gambling strategies. Players use different tactics in the differing parts of a game dependent on your positions and opponent’s.

The Running Game Plan

The goal of the Running Game technique is to lure all your pieces into your inner board and get them off as fast as you could. This strategy concentrates on the pace of advancing your pieces with little or no efforts to hit or barricade your opponent’s checkers. The ideal time to employ this plan is when you believe you can move your own pieces a lot faster than the opposition does: when 1) you have a fewer pieces on the game board; 2) all your chips have moved beyond your competitor’s pieces; or 3) your opponent doesn’t use the hitting or blocking tactic.

The Blocking Game Technique

The primary aim of the blocking tactic, by the name, is to block the competitor’s chips, temporarily, while not fretting about moving your checkers quickly. Once you’ve established the blockage for your opponent’s movement with a few checkers, you can shift your other pieces quickly off the board. The player should also have an apparent strategy when to back off and shift the checkers that you used for blocking. The game gets intriguing when your opponent uses the same blocking tactic.
