As we have dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a casino game of talent and pure luck. The goal is to shift your chips carefully around the board to your inner board while at the same time your opposing player shifts their pieces toward their inside board in the opposing direction. With competing player pieces shifting in opposite directions there is bound to be conflict and the need for specific tactics at particular times. Here are the last 2 Backgammon techniques to round out your game.
The Priming Game Strategy
If the purpose of the blocking tactic is to slow down the opponent to shift her chips, the Priming Game tactic is to completely barricade any activity of the opponent by building a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The opponent’s checkers will either get bumped, or result a damaged position if she ever attempts to leave the wall. The ambush of the prime can be setup anyplace between point 2 and point eleven in your game board. After you’ve successfully constructed the prime to stop the activity of the opponent, your opponent doesn’t even get to roll the dice, and you move your checkers and roll the dice yet again. You’ll win the game for sure.
The Back Game Strategy
The objectives of the Back Game tactic and the Blocking Game technique are very similar – to hinder your competitor’s positions with hope to boost your chances of succeeding, however the Back Game technique relies on seperate techniques to do that. The Back Game technique is frequently used when you’re far behind your opponent. To participate in Backgammon with this tactic, you have to hold two or more points in table, and to hit a blot (a single piece) late in the game. This technique is more challenging than others to play in Backgammon seeing as it needs careful movement of your checkers and how the chips are relocated is partially the result of the dice roll.
