As we have dicussed in the previous article, Backgammon is a game of talent and good luck. The goal is to shift your chips carefully around the game board to your inner board while at the same time your opposing player shifts their chips toward their inner board in the opposite direction. With competing player checkers shifting in opposing directions there is going to be conflict and the need for specific techniques at particular instances. Here are the 2 final Backgammon strategies to complete your game.
The Priming Game Strategy
If the purpose of the blocking plan is to hamper the opponents ability to move her chips, the Priming Game tactic is to completely stop any activity of the opposing player by building a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor’s pieces will either get bumped, or end up in a battered position if she at all attempts to escape the wall. The ambush of the prime can be established anyplace between point two and point 11 in your board. After you have successfully built the prime to stop the movement of your opponent, the competitor doesn’t even get a chance to roll the dice, and you move your chips and roll the dice again. You’ll be a winner for sure.
The Back Game Technique
The aims of the Back Game technique and the Blocking Game tactic are very similar – to hinder your opponent’s positions in hope to improve your odds of succeeding, however the Back Game tactic relies on different techniques to do that. The Back Game strategy is generally employed when you are far behind your competitor. To play Backgammon with this tactic, you need to hold 2 or more points in table, and to hit a blot (a single checker) late in the game. This strategy is more complex than others to use in Backgammon because it requires careful movement of your chips and how the chips are relocated is partly the result of the dice roll.
