As we have dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a casino game of talent and luck. The goal is to move your checkers safely around the game board to your inner board and at the same time your opponent moves their chips toward their inside board in the opposite direction. With opposing player pieces heading in opposite directions there is going to be conflict and the need for particular tactics at particular instances. Here are the last 2 Backgammon techniques to round out your game.
The Priming Game Plan
If the purpose of the blocking plan is to slow down the opponent to move his checkers, the Priming Game strategy is to absolutely block any activity of the opponent by assembling a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor’s pieces will either get bumped, or result a bad position if he ever attempts to escape the wall. The ambush of the prime can be established anyplace between point 2 and point eleven in your half of the board. Once you have successfully built the prime to stop the activity of your opponent, the competitor does not even get a chance to roll the dice, that means you move your checkers and toss the dice again. You’ll win the game for sure.
The Back Game Tactic
The objectives of the Back Game tactic and the Blocking Game plan are similar – to hurt your opponent’s positions hoping to boost your chances of winning, however the Back Game strategy utilizes alternate tactics to achieve that. The Back Game strategy is often utilized when you are far behind your competitor. To compete in Backgammon with this tactic, you need to control 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 seeing as it needs careful movement of your chips and how the pieces are moved is partially the result of the dice roll.
