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 home board while at the same time your opponent moves their chips toward their home board in the opposite direction. With opposing player checkers heading in opposing directions there is bound to be conflict and the requirement for particular techniques at specific times. Here are the last two Backgammon strategies to complete your game.
The Priming Game Tactic
If the aim of the blocking strategy is to slow down the opponent to move her pieces, the Priming Game strategy is to completely block any movement of the opponent by building a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The opponent’s chips will either get hit, or result a battered position if she at all tries to leave the wall. The trap of the prime can be built anyplace between point two and point eleven in your board. Once you have successfully assembled the prime to prevent the activity of your opponent, your competitor doesn’t even get to roll the dice, and you shift your checkers and toss the dice yet again. You will win the game for sure.
The Back Game Tactic
The goals of the Back Game technique and the Blocking Game strategy are similar – to hurt your opponent’s positions in hope to boost your chances of succeeding, but the Back Game tactic uses seperate tactics to do that. The Back Game tactic is commonly used when you’re far behind your opponent. To play Backgammon with this tactic, you need to control two or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This plan is more difficult than others to use in Backgammon seeing as it needs careful movement of your chips and how the checkers are moved is partly the outcome of the dice toss.
