The objective of a Backgammon match is to move your chips around the Backgammon board and bear those pieces from the board faster than your challenger who works harder to attempt the same buthowever they move in the opposing direction. Succeeding in a round in Backgammon needsrequires both strategy and fortune. How far you will be able to move your pieces is left to the numbers from tossing a pair of dice, and how you move your checkers are determined by your overall playing strategies. Players use a few plans in the differing stages of a match based on your positions and opponent’s.

The Running Game Strategy

The aim of the Running Game strategy is to bring all your pieces into your inside board and get them off as fast as you can. This tactic concentrates on the pace of advancing your checkers with absolutely no time spent to hit or block your opponent’s checkers. The ideal scenario to use this tactic is when you believe you can shift your own checkers quicker than your opponent does: when 1) you have a fewer chips on the game board; 2) all your pieces have moved beyond your opponent’s checkers; or 3) your opponent does not use the hitting or blocking technique.

The Blocking Game Strategy

The primary goal of the blocking strategy, by the title, is to block your opponent’s chips, temporarily, not fretting about shifting your checkers quickly. As soon as you’ve created the blockade for the competitor’s movement with a few pieces, you can move your other chips quickly from the game board. The player will need to also have an apparent strategy when to extract and move the chips that you used for blocking. The game gets interesting when the competitor utilizes the same blocking strategy.
