As we dicussed in the previous article, Backgammon is a game of skill and pure luck. The aim is to move your pieces carefully around the game board to your home board while at the same time your opposing player moves their checkers toward their inside board in the opposing direction. With opposing player pieces shifting in opposing directions there is bound to be conflict and the requirement for particular tactics at specific instances. Here are the last two Backgammon techniques to round out your game.
The Priming Game Plan
If the aim of the blocking strategy is to slow down the opponent to move their chips, the Priming Game strategy is to absolutely stop any activity of the opposing player by creating a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The opponent’s checkers will either get hit, or result a bad position if she at all tries to leave the wall. The trap of the prime can be established anyplace between point two and point 11 in your half of the board. After you have successfully constructed the prime to prevent the movement of your competitor, your competitor does not even get a chance to roll the dice, that means you move your chips and roll the dice yet again. You will win the game for sure.
The Back Game Strategy
The aims of the Back Game plan and the Blocking Game plan are very similar – to harm your competitor’s positions hoping to boost your chances of winning, but the Back Game strategy relies on different tactics to achieve that. The Back Game strategy is frequently employed when you’re far behind your competitor. To participate in Backgammon with this technique, you need to control two or more points in table, and to hit a blot (a single piece) late in the game. This tactic is more difficult than others to employ in Backgammon seeing as it needs careful movement of your chips and how the pieces are relocated is partially the result of the dice roll.
