The goal of a Backgammon match is to move your checkers around the Backgammon board and bear those pieces from the board quicker than your opponent who works harder to achieve the same buthowever they move in the opposite direction. Succeeding in a match in Backgammon requires both strategy and good luck. How far you will be able to shift your chips is up to the numbers from rolling a pair of dice, and the way you move your pieces are decided on by your overall playing tactics. Players use a number of tactics in the different parts of a game dependent on your positions and opponent’s.

The Running Game Tactic

The aim of the Running Game technique is to entice all your chips into your inside board and get them off as fast as you can. This tactic concentrates on the pace of moving your pieces with absolutely no time spent to hit or block your competitor’s checkers. The best scenario to employ this plan is when you believe you might be able to shift your own checkers faster than the opposition does: when 1) you have a fewer pieces on the board; 2) all your chips have moved beyond your opponent’s chips; or 3) your opposing player doesn’t use the hitting or blocking technique.

The Blocking Game Tactic

The main goal of the blocking technique, by its name, is to stop your competitor’s chips, temporarily, while not fretting about moving your chips rapidly. As soon as you’ve created the blockade for your opponent’s movement with a few chips, you can shift your other chips swiftly off the game board. You should also have a clear strategy when to withdraw and move the chips that you used for blocking. The game becomes intriguing when your competitor utilizes the same blocking strategy.
