As we have dicussed in the previous article, Backgammon is a game of talent and good luck. The aim is to move your pieces safely around the board to your inner board while at the same time your opponent moves their checkers toward their inside board in the opposite direction. With competing player checkers moving in opposite directions there is bound to be conflict and the need for particular strategies at specific times. Here are the last 2 Backgammon tactics to complete your game.
The Priming Game Tactic
If the aim of the blocking strategy is to hamper the opponents ability to shift his pieces, the Priming Game plan is to completely block any movement of the opposing player by assembling a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The opponent’s chips will either get bumped, or result a damaged position if he at all tries to escape the wall. The trap of the prime can be built anywhere between point 2 and point 11 in your board. As soon as you’ve successfully constructed the prime to prevent the movement of the competitor, the opponent doesn’t even get a chance to roll the dice, that means you shift your checkers and roll the dice again. You’ll be a winner for sure.
The Back Game Plan
The objectives of the Back Game technique and the Blocking Game tactic are very similar – to hurt your opponent’s positions in hope to improve your odds of winning, however the Back Game plan utilizes different tactics to achieve that. The Back Game plan is often used when you are far behind your competitor. To participate in Backgammon with this strategy, you have to control 2 or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This technique is more difficult than others to employ in Backgammon because it requires careful movement of your pieces and how the checkers are moved is partially the outcome of the dice roll.
