As we have dicussed in the previous article, Backgammon is a game of talent and luck. The goal is to move your pieces safely around the board to your inside board and at the same time your opposition moves their chips toward their inside board in the opposite direction. With opposing player pieces heading in opposite directions there is going to be conflict and the requirement for particular tactics at particular instances. Here are the last 2 Backgammon techniques to complete your game.
The Priming Game Strategy
If the aim of the blocking tactic is to slow down the opponent to shift his chips, the Priming Game strategy is to completely block any movement of the opposing player by creating a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor’s pieces will either get bumped, or end up in a battered position if he/she ever tries to escape the wall. The ambush of the prime can be setup anywhere between point 2 and point eleven in your board. As soon as you’ve successfully built the prime to block the activity of your opponent, the opponent doesn’t even get a chance to roll the dice, that means you move your chips and roll the dice again. You will win the game for sure.
The Back Game Tactic
The aims of the Back Game plan and the Blocking Game strategy are very similar – to harm your opponent’s positions with hope to improve your odds of winning, however the Back Game tactic relies on alternate techniques to do that. The Back Game plan is often used when you are far behind your competitor. To compete in Backgammon with this plan, you need to hold two or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This strategy is more complex than others to employ in Backgammon seeing as it needs careful movement of your chips and how the checkers are moved is partially the result of the dice roll.
