As we have dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a game of talent and good luck. The aim is to move your chips safely around the game board to your inner board and at the same time your opposition shifts their pieces toward their inner board in the opposite direction. With opposing player chips shifting in opposite directions there is going to be conflict and the need for specific techniques at particular instances. Here are the last 2 Backgammon plans to complete your game.
The Priming Game Tactic
If the aim of the blocking strategy is to hamper the opponents ability to move his pieces, the Priming Game plan is to absolutely stop any movement of the opponent by constructing a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor’s chips will either get hit, or result a damaged position if he ever tries to escape the wall. The ambush of the prime can be built anyplace between point two and point eleven in your board. After you’ve successfully constructed the prime to stop the movement of your competitor, your opponent doesn’t even get to toss the dice, and you shift your pieces and roll the dice again. You’ll win the game for sure.
The Back Game Technique
The objectives of the Back Game technique and the Blocking Game tactic are similar – to hurt your opponent’s positions with hope to boost your chances of succeeding, however the Back Game tactic utilizes seperate techniques to do that. The Back Game strategy is commonly used when you are far behind your opponent. To play Backgammon with this strategy, you have to control 2 or more points in table, and to hit a blot (a single checker) late in the game. This technique is more difficult than others to employ in Backgammon seeing as it needs careful movement of your pieces and how the checkers are moved is partially the outcome of the dice roll.
