As we dicussed in the previous article, Backgammon is a game of skill and good luck. The aim is to shift your pieces carefully around the game board to your inside board while at the same time your opponent moves their pieces toward their home board in the opposing direction. With opposing player pieces shifting in opposite directions there is bound to be conflict and the need for particular strategies at specific instances. Here are the 2 final Backgammon tactics to complete your game.
The Priming Game Tactic
If the purpose of the blocking tactic is to hamper the opponents ability to move their checkers, the Priming Game strategy is to absolutely stop any movement of the opposing player by constructing a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The opponent’s checkers will either get hit, or result a damaged position if she at all attempts to leave the wall. The ambush of the prime can be established anywhere between point two and point eleven in your half of the board. Once you have successfully built the prime to stop the activity of the competitor, the competitor doesn’t even get a chance to toss the dice, that means you move your chips and roll the dice again. You will be a winner for sure.
The Back Game Tactic
The objectives of the Back Game technique and the Blocking Game plan are similar – to harm your opponent’s positions hoping to boost your chances of succeeding, however the Back Game tactic utilizes seperate techniques to achieve that. The Back Game technique is generally utilized when you’re far behind your competitor. To compete in Backgammon with this technique, you have to control two or more points in table, and to hit a blot (a single checker) late in the game. This strategy is more complex than others to use in Backgammon seeing as it requires careful movement of your chips and how the chips are moved is partly the result of the dice toss.
