The aim of a Backgammon match is to shift your chips around the game board and pull those pieces off the board quicker than your challenger who works harder to attempt the same buthowever they move in the opposing direction. Succeeding in a game of Backgammon requires both strategy and luck. Just how far you will be able to shift your checkers is left to the numbers from tossing the dice, and how you shift your checkers are decided on by your overall gambling techniques. Players use different plans in the different parts of a match dependent on your positions and opponent’s.

The Running Game Plan

The aim of the Running Game technique is to entice all your chips into your home board and bear them off as quick as you can. This strategy concentrates on the speed of advancing your chips with little or no efforts to hit or barricade your competitor’s chips. The best scenario to use this plan is when you think you can shift your own chips faster than the opposition does: when 1) you have less chips on the game board; 2) all your pieces have moved beyond your opponent’s chips; or 3) the opponent does not employ the hitting or blocking tactic.

The Blocking Game Tactic

The main goal of the blocking plan, by the name, is to stop your competitor’s chips, temporarily, not fretting about moving your checkers rapidly. After you have established the blockade for the competitor’s movement with a couple of chips, you can shift your other checkers rapidly from the board. You will need to also have an apparent strategy when to withdraw and move the pieces that you utilized for blocking. The game becomes intriguing when your opposition utilizes the same blocking strategy.
