As we have dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a game of ability and good luck. The aim is to shift your checkers carefully around the board to your inner board and at the same time your opposition shifts their pieces toward their inner board in the opposing direction. With competing player chips shifting in opposite directions there is going to be conflict and the need for specific strategies at particular instances. Here are the last two Backgammon techniques to complete your game.
The Priming Game Strategy
If the aim of the blocking tactic is to hamper the opponents ability to move his checkers, the Priming Game plan is to absolutely block any activity of the opponent by assembling a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The opponent’s chips will either get bumped, or end up in a bad position if he ever tries to escape the wall. The ambush of the prime can be built anyplace between point 2 and point eleven in your board. Once you’ve successfully built the prime to stop the activity of your competitor, your competitor does not even get a chance to roll the dice, and you move your pieces and roll the dice again. You will be a winner for sure.
The Back Game Strategy
The aims of the Back Game strategy and the Blocking Game tactic are very similar – to harm your competitor’s positions in hope to boost your odds of succeeding, however the Back Game tactic utilizes alternate tactics to achieve that. The Back Game plan is commonly utilized when you’re far behind your competitor. To compete in Backgammon with this tactic, you need to hold 2 or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This tactic is more difficult than others to use in Backgammon because it requires careful movement of your chips and how the chips are moved is partially the outcome of the dice roll.
