As we dicussed in the previous article, Backgammon is a game of talent and pure luck. The aim is to shift your pieces safely around the board to your inner board and at the same time your opposing player shifts their checkers toward their home board in the opposite direction. With opposing player pieces heading in opposite directions there is going to be conflict and the requirement for particular techniques at particular instances. Here are the 2 final Backgammon strategies to finish off your game.
The Priming Game Strategy
If the goal of the blocking tactic is to hamper the opponents ability to move her pieces, the Priming Game plan is to absolutely barricade any activity of the opposing player by creating a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor’s chips will either get hit, or end up in a battered position if he ever attempts to escape the wall. The ambush of the prime can be established anywhere between point 2 and point 11 in your half of the board. As soon as you’ve successfully assembled the prime to block the movement of the opponent, your competitor does not even get a chance to roll the dice, and you move your chips and toss the dice again. You’ll be a winner for sure.
The Back Game Tactic
The aims of the Back Game technique and the Blocking Game plan are very similar – to hinder your opponent’s positions in hope to improve your odds of winning, but the Back Game strategy utilizes seperate techniques to achieve that. The Back Game plan is generally employed when you’re far behind your opponent. To participate in Backgammon with this strategy, you have to hold 2 or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This technique is more difficult than others to use in Backgammon because it needs careful movement of your chips and how the pieces are moved is partly the outcome of the dice roll.
