As we dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a casino game of talent and good luck. The goal is to shift your checkers carefully around the game board to your inside board and at the same time your opponent shifts their pieces toward their inner board in the opposing direction. With opposing player checkers shifting in opposite directions there is bound to be conflict and the requirement for specific strategies at specific times. Here are the last two Backgammon techniques to round out your game.
The Priming Game Plan
If the aim of the blocking plan is to slow down the opponent to shift her chips, the Priming Game tactic is to absolutely block any movement of the opposing player by building a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The opponent’s chips will either get bumped, or result a battered position if he/she ever attempts to leave the wall. The ambush of the prime can be established anywhere between point two and point 11 in your game board. Once you have successfully assembled the prime to stop the movement of the opponent, the competitor does not even get to roll the dice, and you shift your chips and toss the dice again. You’ll be a winner for sure.
The Back Game Tactic
The objectives of the Back Game plan and the Blocking Game technique are very similar – to harm your opponent’s positions hoping to boost your odds of succeeding, however the Back Game technique uses seperate tactics to do that. The Back Game technique is frequently employed when you’re far behind your competitor. To participate in Backgammon with this strategy, you need to control 2 or more points in table, and to hit a blot (a single checker) late in the game. This plan is more challenging than others to play in Backgammon because it needs careful movement of your chips and how the pieces are relocated is partially the result of the dice roll.
