The objective of a Backgammon match is to move your checkers around the game board and bear 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 match in Backgammon requires both strategy and fortune. Just how far you can move your checkers is up to the numbers from rolling a pair of dice, and the way you move your checkers are decided on by your overall gambling techniques. Players use a number of plans in the different parts of a game dependent on your positions and opponent’s.

The Running Game Technique

The goal of the Running Game tactic is to lure all your checkers into your inside board and pull them off as quick as you could. This tactic focuses on the pace of advancing your pieces with little or no time spent to hit or stop your competitor’s checkers. The ideal time to employ this tactic is when you believe you can move your own chips faster than the opposition does: when 1) you have less chips on the game board; 2) all your chips have past your competitor’s chips; or 3) your opponent doesn’t use the hitting or blocking technique.

The Blocking Game Technique

The main goal of the blocking plan, by its name, is to block the competitor’s checkers, temporarily, while not worrying about shifting your pieces rapidly. After you have created the barrier for the opponent’s movement with a few pieces, you can move your other checkers quickly from the board. You will need to also have a good strategy when to extract and move the pieces that you used for blocking. The game gets interesting when your opposition utilizes the same blocking strategy.
