As we have dicussed in the previous article, Backgammon is a game of skill and luck. The aim is to shift your chips carefully around the board to your inside board while at the same time your opposing player moves their pieces toward their home board in the opposing direction. With opposing player chips moving in opposing directions there is going to be conflict and the need for particular techniques at particular times. Here are the last two Backgammon tactics to round out your game.
The Priming Game Plan
If the aim of the blocking strategy is to hamper the opponents ability to move his checkers, the Priming Game tactic is to completely stop any activity of the opposing player by constructing a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor’s pieces will either get hit, or result a bad position if he/she at all tries to leave the wall. The trap of the prime can be built anywhere between point two and point 11 in your game board. Once you’ve successfully built the prime to stop the activity of your opponent, the competitor does not even get a chance to toss the dice, that means you shift your checkers and roll the dice yet again. You’ll win the game for sure.
The Back Game Strategy
The objectives of the Back Game tactic and the Blocking Game tactic are similar – to hurt your competitor’s positions with hope to boost your odds of winning, however the Back Game technique utilizes alternate tactics to do that. The Back Game tactic is frequently employed when you’re far behind your competitor. To compete in Backgammon with this technique, you have to control two or more points in table, and to hit a blot (a single piece) late in the game. This technique is more challenging than others to use in Backgammon seeing as it needs careful movement of your checkers and how the checkers are relocated is partially the outcome of the dice roll.
