As we have dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a casino game of skill and luck. The aim is to shift your chips carefully around the board to your home board while at the same time your opposition shifts their pieces toward their inner board in the opposing direction. With competing player pieces shifting in opposite directions there is bound to be conflict and the requirement for particular tactics at specific instances. Here are the last 2 Backgammon tactics to finish off your game.
The Priming Game Plan
If the purpose of the blocking plan is to hamper the opponents ability to move her checkers, the Priming Game strategy is to completely barricade any movement of the opposing player by creating a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor’s checkers will either get bumped, or result a damaged position if he at all tries to escape the wall. The ambush of the prime can be established anywhere between point two and point 11 in your half of the board. After you have successfully constructed the prime to block the activity of the opponent, your opponent does not even get a chance to toss the dice, and you shift your checkers and roll the dice yet again. You will win the game for sure.
The Back Game Plan
The aims of the Back Game strategy and the Blocking Game technique are similar – to hurt your competitor’s positions in hope to boost your chances of succeeding, however the Back Game plan utilizes seperate techniques to do that. The Back Game plan is often utilized when you are far behind your opponent. To participate in Backgammon with this plan, you need to hold 2 or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This strategy is more challenging than others to employ in Backgammon because it requires careful movement of your chips and how the pieces are relocated is partly the outcome of the dice roll.
