As we have dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a casino game of talent and pure luck. The aim is to shift your checkers safely around the game board to your inner board and at the same time your opposing player moves their checkers toward their inside board in the opposing direction. With opposing player checkers moving in opposing directions there is bound to be conflict and the need for particular strategies at specific times. Here are the last 2 Backgammon plans to complete your game.
The Priming Game Tactic
If the purpose of the blocking strategy is to slow down the opponent to move her chips, the Priming Game plan is to absolutely barricade any movement of the opponent by creating a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The opponent’s checkers will either get hit, or end up in a battered position if 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 built the prime to block the activity of your opponent, the competitor does not even get a chance to toss the dice, and you move your chips and roll the dice again. You will win the game for sure.
The Back Game Plan
The goals of the Back Game strategy and the Blocking Game tactic are very similar – to harm your opponent’s positions with hope to boost your odds of winning, however the Back Game strategy utilizes seperate tactics to achieve that. The Back Game tactic is frequently used when you are far behind your opponent. To compete in Backgammon with this strategy, you need to hold 2 or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This plan is more challenging than others to employ in Backgammon because it requires careful movement of your chips and how the chips are moved is partly the outcome of the dice roll.
