As we dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a game of ability and luck. The aim is to shift your checkers carefully around the board to your home board while at the same time your opposing player moves their pieces toward their inside board in the opposing direction. With opposing player checkers moving in opposing directions there is bound to be conflict and the requirement for specific techniques at specific times. Here are the 2 final Backgammon plans to round out your game.
The Priming Game Tactic
If the aim of the blocking strategy is to slow down the opponent to shift his chips, the Priming Game plan is to absolutely block any movement of the opposing player by constructing a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor’s pieces will either get bumped, or end up in a damaged position if he at all attempts to leave the wall. The ambush of the prime can be built anyplace between point 2 and point 11 in your game board. Once you’ve successfully built the prime to block the activity of the competitor, the competitor doesn’t even get a chance to toss the dice, that means you shift your chips and toss the dice yet again. You’ll win the game for sure.
The Back Game Strategy
The aims of the Back Game tactic and the Blocking Game tactic are similar – to harm your competitor’s positions with hope to boost your odds of succeeding, but the Back Game technique utilizes seperate techniques to do that. The Back Game plan is generally employed when you are far behind your competitor. To compete in Backgammon with this tactic, you need to control two or more points in table, and to hit a blot (a single checker) late in the game. This plan is more complex than others to employ in Backgammon seeing as it requires careful movement of your checkers and how the pieces are moved is partially the result of the dice toss.
