February 5th, 2026 by Princess

The aim of a Backgammon match is to move your chips around the game board and pull those pieces from the board quicker than your challenger who works harder to attempt the same buthowever they move in the opposite direction. Winning a game in Backgammon needsrequires both tactics and luck. Just how far you can shift your checkers is up to the numbers from rolling the dice, and how you shift your chips are decided on by your overall playing techniques. Enthusiasts use differing strategies in the differing stages of a match dependent on your positions and opponent’s.

The Running Game Technique

The aim of the Running Game strategy is to entice all your checkers into your inner board and pull them off as fast as you can. This tactic concentrates on the speed of advancing your checkers with absolutely no time spent to hit or barricade your competitor’s pieces. The best time to employ this plan is when you believe you can shift your own chips a lot faster than your opposition does: when 1) you have a fewer pieces on the game board; 2) all your pieces have past your opponent’s pieces; or 3) your opposing player doesn’t use the hitting or blocking plan.

The Blocking Game Tactic

The main goal of the blocking strategy, by the name, is to block the competitor’s chips, temporarily, while not worrying about moving your chips rapidly. After you have established the barrier for your competitor’s movement with a few checkers, you can shift your other chips rapidly from the board. The player really should also have a good strategy when to back off and shift the chips that you utilized for blocking. The game becomes interesting when your opponent uses the same blocking strategy.
