The objective of a Backgammon match is to shift your checkers around the game board and pull those pieces off the board faster than your opponent who works just as hard to do the same buthowever they move in the opposite direction. Winning a game of Backgammon needsrequires both strategy and luck. Just how far you can move your pieces is up to the numbers from tossing the dice, and the way you move your checkers are determined by your overall playing techniques. Enthusiasts use a number of strategies in the differing parts of a match based on your positions and opponent’s.

The Running Game Plan

The aim of the Running Game plan is to lure all your chips into your home board and bear them off as quickly as you can. This technique focuses on the speed of moving your chips with absolutely no efforts to hit or barricade your opponent’s checkers. The ideal time to use this strategy is when you believe you can shift your own checkers quicker than your opponent does: when 1) you have a fewer checkers on the game board; 2) all your pieces have moved beyond your opponent’s pieces; or 3) your opposing player doesn’t employ the hitting or blocking plan.

The Blocking Game Technique

The main goal of the blocking technique, by the title, is to stop your opponent’s chips, temporarily, while not worrying about moving your chips quickly. After you’ve created the blockade for the opponent’s movement with a couple of chips, you can move your other chips quickly from the game board. The player should also have an apparent strategy when to withdraw and move the chips that you utilized for the blockade. The game gets interesting when the opposition uses the same blocking tactic.
