As we have dicussed in the previous article, Backgammon is a game of talent and pure luck. The goal is to move your checkers safely around the game board to your inside board and at the same time your opposing player moves their checkers toward their inside board in the opposing direction. With opposing player checkers heading in opposite directions there is bound to be conflict and the requirement for specific techniques at particular instances. Here are the 2 final Backgammon techniques to finish off your game.
The Priming Game Plan
If the aim of the blocking strategy is to hamper the opponents ability to move their checkers, the Priming Game plan is to absolutely stop any activity of the opponent by constructing a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor’s pieces will either get bumped, or end up in a damaged position if he ever attempts to leave the wall. The ambush of the prime can be established anywhere between point two and point eleven in your board. Once you have successfully built the prime to prevent the movement of the competitor, the opponent does not even get to toss the dice, that means you shift your chips and toss the dice yet again. You will be a winner for sure.
The Back Game Plan
The goals of the Back Game plan and the Blocking Game technique are very similar – to harm your competitor’s positions with hope to improve your chances of winning, however the Back Game strategy uses alternate techniques to achieve that. The Back Game tactic is frequently employed when you’re far behind your opponent. To participate in Backgammon with this strategy, you need to control two or more points in table, and to hit a blot (a single checker) 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 checkers are moved is partly the outcome of the dice toss.
