As we have dicussed in the previous article, Backgammon is a game of talent and luck. The goal is to shift your pieces safely around the game board to your inner board while at the same time your opposing player shifts their chips toward their inner board in the opposing direction. With opposing player pieces shifting in opposing directions there is going to be conflict and the requirement for specific strategies at particular instances. Here are the two final Backgammon techniques to finish off your game.
The Priming Game Plan
If the goal of the blocking plan is to hamper the opponents ability to move her checkers, the Priming Game strategy is to absolutely barricade any movement of the opposing player by creating a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor’s pieces will either get bumped, or end up in a bad position if she ever tries to leave the wall. The trap of the prime can be setup anyplace between point 2 and point 11 in your board. As soon as you’ve successfully built the prime to stop the activity of the competitor, your competitor doesn’t even get to toss the dice, that means you shift your pieces and roll the dice yet again. You’ll win the game for sure.
The Back Game Technique
The objectives of the Back Game strategy and the Blocking Game tactic are similar – to harm your opponent’s positions hoping to improve your chances of winning, however the Back Game tactic uses different techniques to achieve that. The Back Game plan is frequently used when you’re far behind your opponent. To compete in Backgammon with this technique, you have to hold two 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 needs careful movement of your chips and how the chips are relocated is partly the result of the dice toss.
