The goal of a Backgammon match is to move your chips around the game board and pull those pieces off the board faster than your opponent who works harder to do the same buthowever they move in the opposing direction. Winning a match of Backgammon requires both strategy and fortune. How far you will be able to move your pieces is left to the numbers from rolling a pair of dice, and the way you shift your checkers are determined by your overall gambling tactics. Players use different plans in the differing parts of a game dependent on your positions and opponent’s.

The Running Game Strategy

The aim of the Running Game strategy is to bring all your checkers into your home board and get them off as quick as you can. This strategy concentrates on the pace of shifting your checkers with little or no efforts to hit or barricade your opponent’s chips. The ideal time to use this technique is when you believe you might be able to move your own checkers faster than the opponent does: when 1) you have less pieces on the game board; 2) all your pieces have past your opponent’s chips; or 3) the opponent doesn’t employ the hitting or blocking plan.

The Blocking Game Plan

The main aim of the blocking plan, by its name, is to stop the competitor’s chips, temporarily, not fretting about moving your checkers rapidly. Once you’ve established the blockage for the competitor’s movement with a few pieces, you can move your other checkers quickly off the board. The player should also have a clear strategy when to withdraw and move the chips that you utilized for blocking. The game gets interesting when your competitor utilizes the same blocking tactic.
