As we dicussed in the previous article, Backgammon is a casino game of skill and good luck. The aim is to shift your checkers carefully around the board to your home board and at the same time your opposing player shifts their checkers toward their inner board in the opposite direction. With competing player pieces heading in opposing directions there is bound to be conflict and the requirement for particular techniques at particular instances. Here are the 2 final Backgammon techniques to round out your game.
The Priming Game Tactic
If the goal of the blocking plan is to hamper the opponents ability to shift her chips, the Priming Game tactic is to absolutely stop any movement of the opponent by creating a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor’s chips will either get hit, or result a bad position if he ever tries to escape the wall. The ambush of the prime can be setup anyplace between point two and point 11 in your board. After you’ve successfully constructed the prime to block the activity of the opponent, your competitor does not even get to roll the dice, that means you move your checkers and roll the dice yet again. You will win the game for sure.
The Back Game Strategy
The objectives of the Back Game strategy and the Blocking Game plan are similar – to hinder your competitor’s positions in hope to better your chances of succeeding, however the Back Game strategy uses seperate techniques to do that. The Back Game strategy is commonly employed when you’re far behind your opponent. To participate in Backgammon with this plan, you need to control 2 or more points in table, and to hit a blot (a single checker) late in the game. This plan is more difficult than others to use in Backgammon because it requires careful movement of your pieces and how the checkers are relocated is partially the result of the dice toss.
