As we have dicussed in the previous article, Backgammon is a game of talent and pure luck. The goal is to move your checkers safely around the board to your inside board while at the same time your opponent moves their chips toward their home board in the opposite direction. With opposing player chips shifting in opposite directions there is bound to be conflict and the requirement for particular techniques at specific instances. Here are the last two Backgammon strategies to complete your game.
The Priming Game Plan
If the goal of the blocking tactic is to slow down the opponent to move her pieces, the Priming Game strategy is to completely block any movement of the opponent by assembling a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The opponent’s pieces will either get bumped, or result a battered position if she at all attempts to leave the wall. The ambush of the prime can be setup anywhere between point 2 and point 11 in your half of the board. After you have successfully assembled the prime to stop the movement of the opponent, the competitor doesn’t even get a chance to roll the dice, and you move your checkers and roll the dice yet again. You will be a winner for sure.
The Back Game Tactic
The aims of the Back Game tactic and the Blocking Game technique are similar – to hinder your competitor’s positions hoping to better your chances of succeeding, but the Back Game technique utilizes seperate tactics to do that. The Back Game strategy is often employed when you’re far behind your competitor. To play Backgammon with this tactic, you have to hold two or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This plan is more complex than others to use in Backgammon seeing as it requires careful movement of your pieces and how the checkers are relocated is partly the outcome of the dice toss.
