As we dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a game of ability and luck. The aim is to shift your chips carefully around the game board to your inside board and at the same time your opponent moves their pieces toward their inner board in the opposite direction. With competing player pieces heading in opposite directions there is bound to be conflict and the requirement for particular techniques at specific instances. Here are the 2 final Backgammon strategies to finish off your game.
The Priming Game Tactic
If the goal of the blocking strategy is to hamper the opponents ability to shift their checkers, the Priming Game strategy is to completely block any activity of the opposing player by assembling a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The opponent’s checkers will either get hit, or result a bad position if she ever attempts to leave the wall. The ambush of the prime can be setup anyplace between point two and point eleven in your half of the board. After you have successfully constructed the prime to stop the movement of your competitor, your opponent doesn’t even get a chance to roll the dice, and you move your checkers and toss the dice yet again. You’ll be a winner for sure.
The Back Game Strategy
The objectives of the Back Game plan and the Blocking Game plan are very similar – to hurt your competitor’s positions in hope to improve your odds of succeeding, however the Back Game strategy uses alternate tactics to achieve that. The Back Game plan is frequently utilized when you’re far behind your opponent. To play Backgammon with this technique, you need to control 2 or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This technique is more challenging than others to play in Backgammon seeing as it requires careful movement of your chips and how the checkers are moved is partially the outcome of the dice roll.
