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

The Running Game Plan

The goal of the Running Game tactic is to bring all your chips into your inner board and pull them off as fast as you can. This plan concentrates on the speed of moving your checkers with little or no efforts to hit or block your competitor’s checkers. The best time to use this plan is when you think you might be able to shift your own pieces a lot faster than your opposition does: when 1) you have less chips on the game board; 2) all your chips have moved beyond your competitor’s pieces; or 3) the opponent does not employ the hitting or blocking plan.

The Blocking Game Tactic

The primary aim of the blocking plan, by the title, is to block the competitor’s checkers, temporarily, while not worrying about shifting your pieces quickly. As soon as you’ve established the barrier for the competitor’s movement with a few chips, you can shift your other pieces swiftly off the board. The player really should also have a clear plan when to extract and shift the chips that you employed for the blockade. The game becomes intriguing when your competitor uses the same blocking strategy.
