As we have dicussed in the previous article, Backgammon is a game of ability and pure luck. The aim is to move your chips safely around the game board to your inner board while at the same time your opponent shifts their pieces toward their inner board in the opposite direction. With competing player checkers shifting in opposite directions there is going to be conflict and the need for particular tactics at particular times. Here are the last two Backgammon plans to complete your game.
The Priming Game Plan
If the purpose of the blocking strategy is to slow down the opponent to shift her checkers, the Priming Game plan is to completely stop any activity 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 bad position if he/she ever tries to escape the wall. The ambush of the prime can be established anyplace between point 2 and point 11 in your game board. As soon as you have successfully assembled the prime to prevent the activity of your competitor, your opponent does not even get to toss the dice, that means you move your chips and roll the dice yet again. You will win the game for sure.
The Back Game Technique
The aims of the Back Game plan and the Blocking Game strategy are very similar – to hinder your opponent’s positions with hope to better your odds of succeeding, however the Back Game technique uses different tactics to achieve that. The Back Game strategy is frequently employed when you are far behind your opponent. To compete in Backgammon with this technique, you need to control 2 or more points in table, and to hit a blot (a single checker) late in the game. This tactic is more difficult than others to play in Backgammon seeing as it needs careful movement of your pieces and how the pieces are relocated is partly the result of the dice roll.
