The goal of a Backgammon game is to shift your checkers around the Backgammon board and bear those pieces from the game board faster than your opponent who works just as hard to achieve the same buthowever they move in the opposing direction. Winning a match in Backgammon requires both strategy and good luck. Just how far you will be able to move your chips is left to the numbers from tossing a pair of dice, and how you move your pieces are decided on by your overall playing tactics. Players use a number of tactics in the different stages of a game depending on your positions and opponent’s.

The Running Game Technique

The goal of the Running Game technique is to lure all your pieces into your inside board and bear them off as quickly as you could. This technique concentrates on the pace of advancing your pieces with absolutely no efforts to hit or stop your competitor’s chips. The ideal time to employ this plan is when you think you might be able to move your own chips faster than the opposing player does: when 1) you have a fewer checkers on the board; 2) all your chips have past your competitor’s pieces; or 3) the opposing player does not employ the hitting or blocking technique.

The Blocking Game Plan

The main goal of the blocking plan, by the name, is to stop the competitor’s chips, temporarily, not worrying about shifting your chips quickly. After you’ve established the blockage for your competitor’s movement with a few pieces, you can move your other chips rapidly from the game board. You will need to also have an apparent plan when to extract and move the chips that you utilized for blocking. The game becomes interesting when your opposition utilizes the same blocking technique.
