As we dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a game of ability and pure luck. The aim is to move your pieces carefully around the board to your home board and at the same time your opposition shifts their checkers toward their inside board in the opposite direction. With opposing player chips moving in opposing directions there is going to be conflict and the requirement for particular techniques at particular times. Here are the last 2 Backgammon techniques to round out your game.
The Priming Game Strategy
If the purpose of the blocking tactic is to slow down the opponent to shift their pieces, the Priming Game tactic is to completely block any activity of the opposing player by assembling a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor’s checkers will either get bumped, or result a bad position if he at all attempts to leave the wall. The ambush of the prime can be built anywhere between point 2 and point eleven in your game board. As soon as you have successfully built the prime to stop the movement of your competitor, the competitor does not even get a chance to roll the dice, that means you shift your pieces and toss the dice again. You will win the game for sure.
The Back Game Technique
The objectives of the Back Game strategy and the Blocking Game plan are similar – to hurt your competitor’s positions in hope to improve your odds of succeeding, however the Back Game plan relies on seperate tactics to achieve that. The Back Game tactic is commonly used when you are far behind your competitor. To participate in Backgammon with this technique, you have to hold two or more points in table, and to hit a blot (a single checker) late in the game. This technique is more difficult than others to employ in Backgammon seeing as it needs careful movement of your chips and how the pieces are relocated is partly the result of the dice toss.
