The aim of a Backgammon match is to move your checkers around the game board and bear those pieces from the game board quicker than your opposing player who works harder to attempt the same buthowever they move in the opposing direction. Winning a match in Backgammon requires both tactics and good luck. Just how far you will be able to move your chips is left to the numbers from tossing the dice, and how you shift your checkers are decided on by your overall gambling plans. Players use differing tactics in the differing parts of a game dependent on your positions and opponent’s.

The Running Game Plan

The aim of the Running Game tactic is to entice all your pieces into your inner board and bear them off as quickly as you can. This plan concentrates on the pace of moving your chips with little or no efforts to hit or block your opponent’s pieces. The best time to employ this plan is when you think you can move your own checkers quicker than the opposing player does: when 1) you have a fewer chips on the board; 2) all your chips have past your competitor’s chips; or 3) the opposing player does not use the hitting or blocking strategy.

The Blocking Game Tactic

The main aim of the blocking plan, by its title, is to stop the opponent’s pieces, temporarily, while not fretting about shifting your chips rapidly. Once you’ve created the barrier for your competitor’s movement with a couple of checkers, you can move your other chips swiftly from the board. You should also have a good strategy when to extract and shift the pieces that you used for the blockade. The game gets intriguing when the opponent uses the same blocking strategy.
