The aim of a Backgammon game is to move your chips around the Backgammon board and pull them from the game board faster than your competitor who works just as hard to attempt the same buthowever they move in the opposite direction. Succeeding in a match in Backgammon needsrequires both strategy and fortune. Just how far you can shift your chips is left to the numbers from tossing a pair of dice, and just how you move your checkers are decided on by your overall gambling plans. Enthusiasts use differing plans in the differing stages of a match based on your positions and opponent’s.

The Running Game Tactic

The aim of the Running Game tactic is to lure all your checkers into your inner board and pull them off as quickly as you could. This plan concentrates on the pace of shifting your pieces with little or no time spent to hit or stop your opponent’s checkers. The best scenario to use this tactic is when you believe you might be able to shift your own pieces faster than the opponent does: when 1) you have less checkers on the board; 2) all your pieces have past your opponent’s pieces; or 3) the opposing player does not use the hitting or blocking plan.

The Blocking Game Plan

The primary aim of the blocking plan, by the name, is to block the opponent’s pieces, temporarily, while not fretting about shifting your chips quickly. As soon as you have created the barrier for your competitor’s movement with a few pieces, you can move your other checkers swiftly from the game board. The player will need to also have a good plan when to withdraw and move the pieces that you used for the blockade. The game becomes interesting when the opponent uses the same blocking tactic.
