The objective of a Backgammon match is to shift your checkers around the Backgammon board and pull those pieces off the game board faster than your competitor who works just as hard to attempt the same buthowever they move in the opposite direction. Succeeding in a game in Backgammon needsrequires both tactics and luck. Just how far you will be able to shift your checkers is up to the numbers from tossing a pair of dice, and how you shift your chips are decided on by your overall gambling techniques. Enthusiasts use different plans in the differing stages of a match depending on your positions and opponent’s.

The Running Game Tactic

The aim of the Running Game technique is to entice all your checkers into your home board and pull them off as quick as you can. This technique focuses on the speed of shifting your checkers with little or no efforts to hit or barricade your opponent’s chips. The ideal scenario to use this tactic is when you believe you can move your own checkers quicker than your opposing player does: when 1) you have less checkers on the board; 2) all your checkers have moved beyond your competitor’s checkers; or 3) the opposing player doesn’t employ the hitting or blocking technique.

The Blocking Game Technique

The primary aim of the blocking plan, by the title, is to stop your competitor’s checkers, temporarily, not fretting about shifting your checkers rapidly. As soon as you have created the blockage for your opponent’s movement with a few chips, you can move your other pieces rapidly off the game board. The player should also have an apparent strategy when to withdraw and shift the pieces that you used for the blockade. The game gets interesting when your opponent uses the same blocking technique.
