As we dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a game of talent and luck. The aim is to move your chips safely around the board to your home board while at the same time your opposing player shifts their pieces toward their inside board in the opposite direction. With opposing player chips heading in opposite directions there is bound to be conflict and the requirement for specific strategies at specific times. Here are the last two Backgammon tactics to finish off your game.
The Priming Game Plan
If the purpose of the blocking strategy is to hamper the opponents ability to shift his checkers, the Priming Game plan is to completely block any movement of the opponent by assembling a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor’s pieces will either get bumped, or result a battered position if she at all attempts to leave the wall. The trap of the prime can be setup anyplace between point two and point 11 in your board. After you’ve successfully built the prime to block the movement of your opponent, your opponent does not even get to roll the dice, that means you shift your chips and roll the dice again. You’ll be a winner for sure.
The Back Game Strategy
The goals of the Back Game technique and the Blocking Game plan are similar – to harm your opponent’s positions with hope to better your odds of succeeding, however the Back Game technique relies on alternate tactics to achieve that. The Back Game tactic is generally employed when you are far behind your opponent. To participate in Backgammon with this tactic, you have to control 2 or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This plan is more difficult than others to play in Backgammon because it requires careful movement of your pieces and how the pieces are moved is partly the result of the dice roll.
