As we have dicussed in the previous article, Backgammon is a game of ability and pure luck. The aim is to shift your checkers carefully around the board to your home board and at the same time your opponent moves their pieces toward their inner board in the opposite direction. With competing player chips heading in opposing directions there is bound to be conflict and the need for specific strategies at particular times. Here are the last 2 Backgammon plans to round out your game.
The Priming Game Plan
If the goal of the blocking plan is to hamper the opponents ability to move her chips, the Priming Game tactic is to completely barricade any activity of the opponent by constructing a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor’s checkers will either get hit, or result a battered position if he ever tries to escape the wall. The ambush of the prime can be established anyplace between point two and point 11 in your board. As soon as you’ve successfully constructed the prime to stop the movement of your competitor, your opponent doesn’t even get a chance to toss the dice, and you move your checkers and roll the dice again. You will be a winner for sure.
The Back Game Technique
The aims of the Back Game technique and the Blocking Game strategy are similar – to hinder your competitor’s positions hoping to improve your odds of succeeding, however the Back Game strategy utilizes seperate tactics to achieve that. The Back Game technique is often utilized when you’re far behind your competitor. To compete in Backgammon with this strategy, you have to hold two or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This tactic is more difficult than others to play in Backgammon seeing as it requires careful movement of your pieces and how the chips are relocated is partly the result of the dice toss.
