As we dicussed in the previous article, Backgammon is a game of talent and luck. The aim is to shift your checkers safely around the board to your home board while at the same time your opponent shifts their pieces toward their inside board in the opposing direction. With opposing player chips shifting in opposite directions there is bound to be conflict and the requirement for specific tactics at specific times. Here are the last 2 Backgammon techniques to finish off your game.
The Priming Game Strategy
If the aim of the blocking plan is to slow down the opponent to shift his checkers, the Priming Game strategy is to absolutely block any movement of the opponent by constructing a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor’s chips will either get bumped, or result a bad position if he ever tries to escape the wall. The trap of the prime can be established anywhere between point 2 and point eleven in your board. As soon as you’ve successfully built the prime to prevent the activity of your opponent, the competitor does not even get a chance to roll the dice, and you move your pieces and roll the dice again. You will win the game for sure.
The Back Game Technique
The aims of the Back Game plan and the Blocking Game tactic are very similar – to hinder your competitor’s positions hoping to better your odds of winning, however the Back Game tactic utilizes different techniques to do that. The Back Game tactic is generally used when you are far behind your opponent. To participate in Backgammon with this tactic, you have to hold two or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This plan is more difficult than others to play in Backgammon seeing as it needs careful movement of your chips and how the pieces are moved is partially the result of the dice toss.
