As we have dicussed in the previous article, Backgammon is a game of skill and good luck. The goal is to shift your checkers carefully around the game board to your home board and at the same time your opponent shifts their chips toward their inside board in the opposite direction. With competing player checkers shifting in opposing directions there is going to be conflict and the need for specific strategies at specific times. Here are the 2 final Backgammon plans to complete your game.
The Priming Game Plan
If the aim of the blocking plan is to hamper the opponents ability to shift their checkers, the Priming Game tactic is to absolutely barricade any movement of the opponent by constructing a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The opponent’s checkers will either get bumped, or result a bad position if he at all tries to escape the wall. The ambush of the prime can be established anywhere between point 2 and point eleven in your half of the board. Once you’ve successfully constructed the prime to prevent the movement of your opponent, the competitor doesn’t even get a chance to toss the dice, and you move your checkers and toss the dice yet again. You’ll be a winner for sure.
The Back Game Tactic
The goals of the Back Game strategy and the Blocking Game technique are very similar – to hurt your opponent’s positions hoping to boost your odds of succeeding, however the Back Game plan relies on different techniques to do that. The Back Game tactic is commonly utilized when you’re far behind your competitor. To compete in Backgammon with this strategy, you have to hold 2 or more points in table, and to hit a blot (a single piece) late in the game. This plan is more difficult than others to play in Backgammon seeing as it requires careful movement of your checkers and how the chips are relocated is partly the outcome of the dice toss.
