As we have dicussed in the previous article, Backgammon is a game of skill and good luck. The goal is to move your checkers safely around the game board to your inner board while at the same time your opponent shifts their pieces toward their inside board in the opposite direction. With competing player chips moving in opposing directions there is going to be conflict and the requirement for particular techniques at specific times. Here are the two final Backgammon strategies to complete your game.
The Priming Game Strategy
If the goal of the blocking tactic is to hamper the opponents ability to shift her pieces, the Priming Game tactic is to absolutely stop any activity of the opposing player by creating a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The opponent’s checkers will either get bumped, or result a bad position if she ever attempts to escape the wall. The trap of the prime can be setup anywhere between point two and point eleven in your half of the board. As soon as you’ve successfully built the prime to block the activity of the opponent, your opponent doesn’t even get a chance to toss the dice, that means you move your chips and toss the dice yet again. You’ll be a winner for sure.
The Back Game Plan
The goals of the Back Game tactic and the Blocking Game tactic are similar – to harm your competitor’s positions with hope to improve your chances of succeeding, however the Back Game technique relies on seperate tactics to achieve that. The Back Game strategy is commonly employed when you’re far behind your opponent. To compete in Backgammon with this tactic, you need to control 2 or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This strategy is more difficult than others to play in Backgammon because it needs careful movement of your checkers and how the pieces are moved is partially the result of the dice toss.
