The objective of a Backgammon match is to shift your pieces around the Backgammon board and pull them off the board faster than your challenger who works harder to do the same buthowever they move in the opposite direction. Winning a round of Backgammon requires both strategy and good luck. Just how far you will be able to shift your pieces is up to the numbers from tossing a pair of dice, and just how you move your checkers are decided on by your overall gambling plans. Players use different techniques in the different stages of a game dependent on your positions and opponent’s.

The Running Game Technique

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

The Blocking Game Strategy

The primary aim of the blocking technique, by the name, is to block the opponent’s checkers, temporarily, not worrying about shifting your chips rapidly. After you’ve created the blockade for the opponent’s movement with a few pieces, you can shift your other pieces swiftly from the board. The player will need to also have an apparent plan when to extract and move the chips that you employed for blocking. The game becomes intriguing when your opponent uses the same blocking tactic.
