As we dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a game of ability and pure luck. The goal is to move your checkers safely around the game board to your inner board and at the same time your opposition moves their chips toward their inside board in the opposite direction. With opposing player chips moving in opposing directions there is bound to be conflict and the requirement for particular tactics at specific times. Here are the last 2 Backgammon strategies to round out your game.
The Priming Game Tactic
If the goal of the blocking tactic is to hamper the opponents ability to shift her chips, the Priming Game tactic is to absolutely stop any movement of the opposing player by constructing a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor’s pieces will either get hit, or result a bad position if he/she ever attempts to escape the wall. The ambush of the prime can be established anywhere between point 2 and point 11 in your half of the board. As soon as you have successfully constructed the prime to block the activity of your opponent, the opponent doesn’t even get a chance to toss the dice, and you move your pieces and toss the dice yet again. You’ll win the game for sure.
The Back Game Plan
The goals of the Back Game technique and the Blocking Game technique are similar – to hurt your opponent’s positions with hope to improve your odds of succeeding, however the Back Game technique uses seperate tactics to do that. The Back Game tactic is frequently used when you’re far behind your opponent. To compete in Backgammon with this plan, you need to control two or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This strategy is more challenging than others to play in Backgammon because it needs careful movement of your checkers and how the checkers are relocated is partly the result of the dice toss.
