The objective of a Backgammon match is to move your chips around the Backgammon board and pull them off the board faster than your opposing player who works harder to achieve the same buthowever they move in the opposite direction. Succeeding in a game in Backgammon requires both strategy and good luck. How far you can move your checkers is up to the numbers from rolling the dice, and the way you shift your pieces are decided on by your overall playing strategies. Players use a number of tactics in the differing parts of a match based on your positions and opponent’s.

The Running Game Strategy

The aim of the Running Game technique is to lure all your checkers into your inner board and get them off as fast as you could. This strategy focuses on the pace of advancing your chips with no time spent to hit or block your opponent’s pieces. The ideal time to use this strategy is when you believe you can move your own chips quicker than your opponent does: when 1) you have less chips on the board; 2) all your chips have moved beyond your competitor’s checkers; or 3) the opponent doesn’t use the hitting or blocking technique.

The Blocking Game Plan

The primary aim of the blocking technique, by its name, is to block the competitor’s pieces, temporarily, not fretting about moving your pieces quickly. After you’ve established the blockage for the competitor’s movement with a couple of pieces, you can shift your other checkers rapidly off the board. The player will need to also have a clear plan when to back off and shift the chips that you used for blocking. The game becomes interesting when the competitor uses the same blocking tactic.
