The goal of a Backgammon match is to shift your chips around the game board and bear those pieces from the board quicker than your challenger who works just as hard to do the same buthowever they move in the opposite direction. Succeeding in a game in Backgammon requires both strategy and luck. How far you will be able to move your pieces is up to the numbers from rolling the dice, and how you move your chips are determined by your overall gambling techniques. Players use a number of tactics in the differing parts of a game depending on your positions and opponent’s.

The Running Game Technique

The aim of the Running Game technique is to lure all your checkers into your inside board and pull them off as quick as you could. This plan concentrates on the speed of shifting your checkers with little or no efforts to hit or barricade your opponent’s chips. The best scenario to use this tactic is when you believe you might be able to move your own chips a lot faster than the opposition does: when 1) you have less checkers on the game board; 2) all your pieces have past your competitor’s pieces; or 3) your opponent doesn’t employ the hitting or blocking technique.

The Blocking Game Strategy

The main goal of the blocking plan, by the title, is to stop the opponent’s checkers, temporarily, while not worrying about moving your pieces rapidly. As soon as you have created the blockage for the competitor’s movement with a few chips, you can shift your other checkers swiftly off the game board. The player should also have an apparent plan when to withdraw and move the chips that you used for blocking. The game becomes interesting when your opponent uses the same blocking strategy.
