The goal of a Backgammon match is to move your checkers around the Backgammon board and get those pieces off the board faster than your competitor who works just as hard to do the same buthowever they move in the opposing direction. Winning a match in Backgammon needsrequires both tactics and fortune. Just how far you can shift your checkers is up to the numbers from tossing a pair of dice, and how you shift your pieces are decided on by your overall playing techniques. Players use a number of plans in the differing stages of a match depending on your positions and opponent's.

The Running Game Technique

The goal of the Running Game plan is to entice all your chips into your home board and pull them off as fast as you can. This strategy focuses on the speed of shifting your checkers with no efforts to hit or barricade your competitor's pieces. The ideal scenario to use this tactic is when you think you can move your own pieces a lot faster than the opponent does: when 1) you have a fewer pieces on the board; 2) all your chips have past your competitor's chips; or 3) the opposing player does not use the hitting or blocking tactic.

The Blocking Game Technique

The main goal of the blocking plan, by the name, is to block the opponent's chips, temporarily, while not worrying about moving your checkers quickly. After you have created the blockade for the opponent's movement with a couple of checkers, you can move your other chips swiftly off the board. The player really should also have a good plan when to extract and move the checkers that you employed for the blockade. The game gets intriguing when your opposition utilizes the same blocking strategy.
