As we have dicussed in the previous article, Backgammon is a game of ability and good luck. The aim is to move your checkers safely around the game board to your inside board while at the same time your opposition moves their pieces toward their inside board in the opposite direction. With opposing player checkers shifting in opposite directions there is going to be conflict and the requirement for particular techniques at specific instances. Here are the two final Backgammon techniques to complete your game.
The Priming Game Tactic
If the purpose of the blocking plan is to slow down the opponent to shift her chips, the Priming Game strategy is to completely barricade 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 battered position if she ever attempts to escape the wall. The ambush of the prime can be setup anywhere between point two and point eleven in your game board. Once you’ve successfully assembled the prime to stop the movement of the competitor, the competitor doesn’t even get to toss the dice, that means you shift your chips and toss the dice yet again. You will be a winner for sure.
The Back Game Plan
The goals of the Back Game strategy and the Blocking Game tactic are very similar – to harm your competitor’s positions with hope to improve your chances of winning, however the Back Game plan uses different techniques to achieve that. The Back Game plan is frequently used when you are far behind your competitor. To participate in Backgammon with this strategy, you need to hold two or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This tactic is more challenging than others to use in Backgammon seeing as it requires careful movement of your checkers and how the pieces are moved is partially the result of the dice roll.
