The objective of a Backgammon match is to move your chips around the Backgammon board and pull them from the game board quicker than your competitor who works harder to achieve the same buthowever they move in the opposite direction. Succeeding in a round of Backgammon requires both strategy and fortune. Just how far you will be able to move your checkers is up to the numbers from tossing the dice, and the way you shift your chips are decided on by your overall playing plans. Enthusiasts use differing tactics in the different parts of a game dependent on your positions and opponent’s.

The Running Game Plan

The goal of the Running Game technique is to entice all your checkers into your inside board and pull them off as quick as you can. This strategy focuses on the speed of advancing your chips with little or no efforts to hit or barricade your opponent’s checkers. The best scenario to use this strategy is when you believe you can shift your own checkers faster than the opposition does: when 1) you have a fewer checkers on the board; 2) all your pieces have moved beyond your competitor’s checkers; or 3) your opposing player doesn’t employ the hitting or blocking tactic.

The Blocking Game Strategy

The primary aim of the blocking technique, by its title, is to block the opponent’s chips, temporarily, while not worrying about shifting your checkers rapidly. After you have established the barrier for the opponent’s movement with a few chips, you can shift your other checkers quickly off the game board. The player should also have a good strategy when to extract and move the checkers that you utilized for blocking. The game gets intriguing when your opposition utilizes the same blocking technique.
