The aim of a Backgammon match is to shift your checkers around the game board and pull those pieces off the game board faster 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 luck. How far you can shift your chips is left to the numbers from tossing a pair of dice, and the way you move your pieces are decided on by your overall playing strategies. Enthusiasts use a few strategies in the differing parts of a match depending on your positions and opponent’s.

The Running Game Plan

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

The Blocking Game Strategy

The main goal of the blocking technique, by the name, is to block the competitor’s pieces, temporarily, while not worrying about shifting your checkers rapidly. After you’ve created the barrier for the competitor’s movement with a few checkers, you can move your other chips rapidly off the board. The player should also have a clear strategy when to extract and shift the pieces that you utilized for blocking. The game becomes interesting when the opponent utilizes the same blocking strategy.
