As we dicussed in the previous article, Backgammon is a game of talent and luck. The aim is to move your chips carefully around the game board to your home board while at the same time your opposition moves their checkers toward their inside board in the opposing direction. With opposing player pieces shifting in opposing directions there is bound to be conflict and the requirement for particular techniques at specific times. Here are the last 2 Backgammon strategies to round out your game.
The Priming Game Tactic
If the goal of the blocking tactic is to hamper the opponents ability to move their checkers, the Priming Game strategy is to absolutely barricade any movement of the opposing player by creating a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor’s chips will either get hit, or result a battered position if he at all tries to leave the wall. The trap of the prime can be setup anywhere between point 2 and point 11 in your game board. Once you’ve successfully built the prime to stop the activity of the competitor, your competitor does not even get to roll the dice, and you shift your checkers and toss the dice yet again. You’ll be a winner for sure.
The Back Game Technique
The aims of the Back Game tactic and the Blocking Game technique are similar – to hinder your opponent’s positions with hope to better your odds of succeeding, however the Back Game strategy uses different techniques to do that. The Back Game technique is generally utilized when you’re far behind your opponent. To participate in Backgammon with this technique, you need to hold 2 or more points in table, and to hit a blot (a single checker) late in the game. This strategy is more challenging than others to employ in Backgammon because it needs careful movement of your chips and how the chips are moved is partially the result of the dice toss.
