As we have dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a game of talent and good luck. The aim is to shift your chips safely around the board to your home board and at the same time your opponent shifts their pieces toward their home board in the opposing direction. With opposing player checkers shifting in opposing directions there is going to be conflict and the need for specific techniques at specific instances. Here are the 2 final Backgammon tactics to complete your game.
The Priming Game Tactic
If the goal of the blocking tactic is to slow down the opponent to move their chips, the Priming Game plan is to absolutely block any movement of the opponent by constructing a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor’s pieces will either get bumped, or result a damaged position if he at all attempts to leave the wall. The trap of the prime can be built anywhere between point two and point eleven in your game board. As soon as you’ve successfully assembled the prime to stop the movement of your opponent, the competitor doesn’t even get to roll the dice, and you move your chips and toss the dice again. You will be a winner for sure.
The Back Game Strategy
The goals of the Back Game tactic and the Blocking Game tactic are similar – to harm your opponent’s positions with hope to improve your chances of succeeding, but the Back Game technique uses different techniques to do that. The Back Game technique is generally employed when you are far behind your competitor. To play Backgammon with this strategy, you need to hold two or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This plan is more challenging than others to play in Backgammon seeing as it requires careful movement of your chips and how the pieces are moved is partly the outcome of the dice roll.
