As we have dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a game of talent and good luck. The aim is to move your pieces carefully around the game board to your inner board while at the same time your opponent shifts their pieces toward their inner board in the opposing direction. With opposing player checkers shifting in opposite directions there is going to be conflict and the need for specific strategies at specific times. Here are the last two Backgammon plans to complete your game.
The Priming Game Plan
If the purpose of the blocking tactic is to slow down the opponent to move her chips, the Priming Game tactic is to completely barricade any movement of the opposing player by assembling a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The opponent’s checkers will either get bumped, or result a bad position if he ever tries to leave the wall. The trap of the prime can be established anywhere between point 2 and point 11 in your board. Once you’ve successfully assembled the prime to block the movement of the competitor, the competitor does not even get a chance to toss the dice, that means you shift your pieces and roll the dice again. You will win the game for sure.
The Back Game Technique
The aims of the Back Game tactic and the Blocking Game strategy are very similar – to harm your competitor’s positions with hope to improve your chances of winning, but the Back Game tactic uses different techniques to do that. The Back Game plan is often utilized when you’re far behind your opponent. To compete in Backgammon with this technique, you need to control two or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This strategy is more difficult than others to play in Backgammon seeing as it needs careful movement of your checkers and how the pieces are relocated is partially the outcome of the dice roll.
