As we dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a game of skill and luck. The goal is to shift your checkers carefully around the board to your inner board while at the same time your opponent moves their pieces toward their inside board in the opposite direction. With opposing player checkers heading in opposite directions there is going to be conflict and the requirement for particular strategies at specific instances. Here are the 2 final Backgammon techniques to complete your game.
The Priming Game Strategy
If the goal of the blocking plan is to hamper the opponents ability to move their chips, the Priming Game strategy is to absolutely block any movement of the opponent by constructing a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor’s chips will either get hit, or end up in a bad position if he ever tries to leave the wall. The ambush of the prime can be built anyplace between point 2 and point 11 in your half of the board. Once you’ve successfully constructed the prime to prevent the activity of the competitor, your competitor does not even get to roll the dice, that means you shift your checkers and roll the dice again. You’ll win the game for sure.
The Back Game Plan
The objectives of the Back Game strategy and the Blocking Game technique are similar – to hurt your opponent’s positions hoping to improve your odds of succeeding, however the Back Game strategy uses different techniques to do that. The Back Game technique is commonly employed when you’re far behind your competitor. To compete in Backgammon with this technique, you need to hold two or more points in table, and to hit a blot (a single piece) late in the game. This plan is more difficult than others to use in Backgammon seeing as it needs careful movement of your pieces and how the pieces are moved is partially the outcome of the dice toss.
