The goal of a Backgammon match is to shift your pieces around the game board and pull them from the game board quicker than your opponent who works just as hard to achieve the same buthowever they move in the opposing direction. Succeeding in a match of Backgammon needsrequires both strategy and fortune. Just how far you can shift your pieces is left to the numbers from rolling the dice, and how you move your chips are determined by your overall gambling techniques. Enthusiasts use differing techniques in the different stages of a game depending on your positions and opponent’s.

The Running Game Technique

The aim of the Running Game technique is to entice all your pieces into your home board and get them off as fast as you can. This plan concentrates on the pace of shifting your pieces with absolutely no efforts to hit or stop your competitor’s chips. The best scenario to use this technique is when you think you might be able to move your own chips faster than the opponent does: when 1) you have less pieces on the game board; 2) all your pieces have moved beyond your opponent’s chips; or 3) the opponent does not use the hitting or blocking technique.

The Blocking Game Plan

The primary goal of the blocking strategy, by its name, is to block your competitor’s checkers, temporarily, not fretting about moving your pieces quickly. Once you have created the blockade for your competitor’s movement with a couple of checkers, you can shift your other checkers quickly from the board. You will need to also have a good strategy when to withdraw and move the chips that you employed for blocking. The game becomes interesting when the opposition utilizes the same blocking technique.
