The objective of a Backgammon game is to shift your chips around the game board and bear those pieces off the board faster than your competitor who works just as hard to attempt the same buthowever they move in the opposite direction. Succeeding in a match in Backgammon requires both strategy and fortune. Just how far you can move your checkers is left to the numbers from rolling the dice, and how you move your checkers are determined by your overall gambling techniques. Enthusiasts use different plans in the differing parts of a match based on your positions and opponent’s.

The Running Game Strategy

The aim of the Running Game technique is to bring all your chips into your inner board and pull them off as quickly as you can. This tactic concentrates on the pace of advancing your checkers with little or no time spent to hit or block your competitor’s chips. The best time to employ this strategy is when you think you might be able to move your own chips faster than the opposition does: when 1) you have less pieces on the game board; 2) all your pieces have past your competitor’s pieces; or 3) the opponent doesn’t employ the hitting or blocking strategy.

The Blocking Game Plan

The primary goal of the blocking tactic, by its title, is to block your opponent’s checkers, temporarily, not worrying about moving your chips rapidly. After you have established the blockage for the opponent’s movement with a couple of pieces, you can shift your other pieces swiftly from the game board. You really should also have a good strategy when to back off and shift the pieces that you used for the blockade. The game gets intriguing when your opposition uses the same blocking strategy.
