As we have dicussed in the previous article, Backgammon is a game of skill and good luck. The aim is to shift your checkers safely around the game board to your inside board while at the same time your opposition shifts their checkers toward their home board in the opposing direction. With opposing player pieces heading in opposing directions there is going to be conflict and the need for particular strategies at particular instances. Here are the last 2 Backgammon strategies to finish off your game.
The Priming Game Strategy
If the purpose of the blocking strategy is to slow down the opponent to move his checkers, the Priming Game strategy is to absolutely stop any activity of the opponent by assembling a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor’s pieces will either get hit, or end up in a battered position if she at all tries to leave the wall. The ambush of the prime can be built anyplace between point two and point eleven in your half of the board. Once you have successfully assembled the prime to block the movement of the competitor, your opponent does not even get to roll the dice, and you shift your chips and roll the dice yet again. You’ll be a winner for sure.
The Back Game Tactic
The goals of the Back Game technique and the Blocking Game strategy are very similar – to hurt your opponent’s positions in hope to improve your chances of winning, however the Back Game technique utilizes seperate tactics to achieve that. The Back Game strategy is frequently employed when you are far behind your competitor. To play 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 requires careful movement of your chips and how the checkers are relocated is partly the result of the dice roll.
