As we dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a casino game of skill and pure luck. The aim is to move your pieces safely around the game board to your inner board and at the same time your opponent moves their chips toward their inside board in the opposite direction. With competing player pieces moving in opposing directions there is going to be conflict and the need for specific strategies at particular times. Here are the two final Backgammon plans to finish off your game.
The Priming Game Plan
If the goal of the blocking plan is to hamper the opponents ability to move her chips, the Priming Game strategy is to absolutely barricade any movement of the opponent by assembling a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor’s chips will either get bumped, or result a battered position if she at all tries to escape the wall. The trap of the prime can be built anywhere between point two and point eleven in your half of the board. Once you have successfully assembled the prime to block the activity of the opponent, your opponent does not even get a chance to toss the dice, that means you move your chips and toss the dice again. You will be a winner for sure.
The Back Game Technique
The goals of the Back Game plan and the Blocking Game technique are very similar – to hinder your competitor’s positions with hope to improve your odds of winning, however the Back Game strategy utilizes seperate techniques to achieve that. The Back Game tactic is frequently utilized when you’re far behind your opponent. To participate in Backgammon with this strategy, you need to control two or more points in table, and to hit a blot (a single piece) late in the game. This plan is more difficult than others to play in Backgammon seeing as it needs careful movement of your checkers and how the checkers are moved is partially the outcome of the dice roll.
