As we have dicussed in the previous article, Backgammon is a game of talent and good luck. The aim is to shift your pieces carefully around the board to your inner board while at the same time your opposition moves their chips toward their home board in the opposing direction. With competing player pieces moving in opposite directions there is bound to be conflict and the need for particular techniques at specific instances. Here are the two final Backgammon tactics to complete your game.
The Priming Game Strategy
If the aim of the blocking plan is to hamper the opponents ability to shift their chips, the Priming Game tactic is to absolutely block any activity of the opposing player by assembling a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The opponent’s chips will either get hit, or end up in a battered position if she at all tries to leave the wall. The ambush of the prime can be setup anyplace between point 2 and point eleven in your half of the board. Once you’ve successfully assembled the prime to block the activity of the opponent, your opponent doesn’t even get a chance to roll the dice, that means you shift your chips and toss the dice yet again. You will be a winner for sure.
The Back Game Strategy
The objectives of the Back Game tactic and the Blocking Game plan are very similar – to harm your opponent’s positions hoping to boost your chances of succeeding, but the Back Game technique uses seperate techniques to do that. The Back Game technique is generally employed when you’re far behind your opponent. To play Backgammon with this tactic, you have to hold 2 or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This tactic is more complex than others to play in Backgammon seeing as it requires careful movement of your checkers and how the chips are moved is partially the result of the dice roll.
