As we dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a casino game of talent and luck. The goal is to move your checkers safely around the game board to your inside board while at the same time your opponent shifts their chips toward their inside board in the opposite direction. With competing player chips moving in opposing directions there is going to be conflict and the requirement for particular strategies at specific instances. Here are the last two Backgammon techniques to round out your game.
The Priming Game Tactic
If the purpose of the blocking strategy is to slow down the opponent to shift their pieces, the Priming Game tactic is to absolutely block any movement of the opponent by building a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor’s checkers will either get hit, or end up in a damaged position if he ever tries to leave the wall. The trap of the prime can be setup anywhere between point two and point 11 in your game board. After you have successfully assembled the prime to stop the activity of your competitor, the competitor does not even get to toss the dice, and you shift your checkers and toss the dice again. You will be a winner for sure.
The Back Game Strategy
The objectives of the Back Game technique and the Blocking Game strategy are similar – to harm your opponent’s positions in hope to better your odds of succeeding, however the Back Game strategy utilizes seperate techniques to do that. The Back Game strategy is often employed when you’re far behind your opponent. To play Backgammon with this plan, you have to hold two or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This strategy is more complex than others to use in Backgammon because it requires careful movement of your checkers and how the pieces are relocated is partially the outcome of the dice roll.
