As we dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a casino game of ability and luck. The goal is to shift your checkers carefully around the game board to your inner board while at the same time your opponent shifts their checkers toward their home board in the opposing direction. With opposing player pieces shifting in opposite directions there is going to be conflict and the requirement for particular strategies at specific times. Here are the 2 final Backgammon plans to round out your game.
The Priming Game Strategy
If the aim of the blocking plan is to hamper the opponents ability to shift her chips, the Priming Game plan is to completely block any movement of the opponent by constructing a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The opponent’s checkers will either get bumped, or end up in a damaged position if he ever attempts to escape the wall. The ambush of the prime can be setup anywhere between point two and point eleven in your half of the board. Once you have successfully constructed the prime to prevent the activity of the opponent, the competitor does not even get a chance to toss the dice, that means you move your pieces and roll the dice again. You will win the game for sure.
The Back Game Technique
The aims of the Back Game strategy and the Blocking Game tactic are similar – to harm your competitor’s positions hoping to better your chances of winning, however the Back Game plan utilizes different techniques to achieve that. The Back Game technique is commonly employed when you’re far behind your competitor. To play Backgammon with this tactic, you need to hold two or more points in table, and to hit a blot (a single piece) late in the game. This technique is more difficult than others to use in Backgammon because it requires careful movement of your chips and how the checkers are relocated is partially the result of the dice roll.
