The goal of a Backgammon match is to move your pieces around the game board and pull them off the board quicker than your opponent who works just as hard to achieve the same buthowever they move in the opposing direction. Winning a game in Backgammon requires both tactics and fortune. How far you can shift your chips is left to the numbers from rolling a pair of dice, and the way you move your chips are decided on by your overall gambling plans. Enthusiasts use a few techniques in the different stages of a match based on your positions and opponent’s.

The Running Game Technique

The goal of the Running Game tactic is to bring all your chips into your home board and bear them off as fast as you can. This plan concentrates on the speed of shifting your chips with little or no time spent to hit or block your opponent’s checkers. The ideal time to use this plan is when you believe you might be able to shift your own pieces quicker than your opposition does: when 1) you have a fewer chips on the game board; 2) all your chips have past your opponent’s chips; or 3) your opponent doesn’t use the hitting or blocking technique.

The Blocking Game Plan

The main goal of the blocking technique, by its name, is to stop the opponent’s chips, temporarily, not fretting about shifting your chips quickly. As soon as you’ve created the blockage for your opponent’s movement with a couple of pieces, you can shift your other pieces rapidly off the game board. The player should also have an apparent strategy when to withdraw and shift the checkers that you used for the blockade. The game gets interesting when your opposition utilizes the same blocking strategy.
