The goal of a Backgammon match is to shift your checkers around the game board and bear them from the board quicker than your competitor who works harder to achieve the same buthowever they move in the opposing direction. Succeeding in a game in Backgammon requires both strategy and luck. Just how far you can shift your chips is left to the numbers from rolling a pair of dice, and just how you shift your checkers are determined by your overall gambling techniques. Enthusiasts use differing strategies in the differing stages of a game based on your positions and opponent's.

The Running Game Technique

The goal of the Running Game strategy is to entice all your pieces into your inside board and bear them off as fast as you can. This tactic concentrates on the speed of moving your pieces with absolutely no efforts to hit or barricade your opponent's chips. The ideal time to employ this tactic is when you think you might be able to shift your own checkers a lot faster than your opponent does: when 1) you have a fewer chips on the game board; 2) all your pieces have moved beyond your competitor's checkers; or 3) the opposing player does not use the hitting or blocking technique.

The Blocking Game Tactic

The main aim of the blocking plan, by the name, is to stop your opponent's pieces, temporarily, not worrying about shifting your pieces quickly. As soon as you have established the blockade for the competitor's movement with a couple of pieces, you can move your other checkers rapidly off the game board. You really should also have a good plan when to back off and move the pieces that you used for blocking. The game becomes interesting when the competitor utilizes the same blocking tactic.
