As we have dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a game of ability and pure luck. The aim is to shift your pieces carefully around the game board to your home board while at the same time your opposition shifts their checkers toward their inside board in the opposing direction. With competing player checkers heading in opposing directions there is bound to be conflict and the requirement for specific techniques at specific times. Here are the last 2 Backgammon strategies to round out your game.
The Priming Game Strategy
If the purpose of the blocking tactic is to slow down the opponent to shift their checkers, the Priming Game plan is to absolutely block any movement of the opposing player by building a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor’s chips will either get bumped, or end up in a damaged position if he at all tries to escape the wall. The trap of the prime can be setup anyplace between point two and point 11 in your half of the board. As soon as you have successfully assembled the prime to block the movement of your opponent, the competitor does not even get to toss the dice, and you move your checkers and roll the dice again. You’ll be a winner for sure.
The Back Game Strategy
The objectives of the Back Game technique and the Blocking Game technique are very similar – to hurt your competitor’s positions with hope to boost your odds of winning, however the Back Game technique uses alternate tactics to achieve that. The Back Game strategy is frequently employed when you are far behind your opponent. To play Backgammon with this strategy, you have to hold two or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This plan is more complex than others to employ in Backgammon seeing as it needs careful movement of your checkers and how the chips are relocated is partially the outcome of the dice roll.
