As we have dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a casino game of ability and good luck. The aim is to move your pieces carefully around the board to your home board while at the same time your opponent moves their checkers toward their home board in the opposing direction. With competing player chips moving in opposing directions there is going to be conflict and the need for specific strategies at specific times. Here are the last two Backgammon techniques to complete your game.
The Priming Game Plan
If the goal of the blocking plan is to hamper the opponents ability to shift her checkers, the Priming Game plan is to absolutely stop any movement of the opposing player by building a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The opponent’s checkers will either get hit, or end up in a bad position if he at all attempts to leave the wall. The trap of the prime can be built anywhere between point 2 and point eleven in your half of the board. Once you have successfully constructed the prime to block the movement of your opponent, the competitor does not even get to roll the dice, that means you move your checkers and roll the dice yet again. You’ll win the game for sure.
The Back Game Plan
The objectives of the Back Game strategy and the Blocking Game strategy are very similar – to hurt your opponent’s positions in hope to better your chances of winning, however the Back Game technique uses different techniques to achieve that. The Back Game tactic is generally utilized when you are far behind your competitor. To participate in Backgammon with this strategy, you need to hold 2 or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This tactic is more complex than others to use in Backgammon seeing as it needs careful movement of your pieces and how the checkers are relocated is partly the outcome of the dice toss.
