Winning a match in Backgammon needsrequires both tactics and good luck. How far you can shift your checkers is left to the numbers from rolling the dice, and the way you move your pieces are decided on by your overall playing techniques. Enthusiasts use a few plans in the differing parts of a game dependent on your positions and opponent's.

The Running Game Technique

The aim of the Running Game strategy is to lure all your checkers into your inner board and pull them off as quick as you could. This technique focuses on the pace of shifting your pieces with little or no efforts to hit or stop your competitor's checkers. The best time to use this plan is when you believe you might be able to move your own chips quicker than the opponent does: when 1) you have less pieces on the board; 2) all your pieces have moved beyond your competitor's pieces; or 3) your opposing player does not employ the hitting or blocking technique.

The Blocking Game Technique

The primary aim of the blocking technique, by its title, is to block your competitor's chips, temporarily, not fretting about moving your pieces rapidly. After you have established the blockade for the opponent's movement with a couple of checkers, you can move your other chips rapidly from the game board. You will need to also have a good strategy when to extract and move the pieces that you employed for the blockade. The game becomes interesting when the opponent utilizes the same blocking tactic.
