As we dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a game of talent and good luck. The goal is to move your chips carefully around the game board to your home board while at the same time your opposing player shifts their checkers toward their home board in the opposing direction. With opposing player chips shifting in opposite directions there is going to be conflict and the need for specific strategies at specific instances. Here are the 2 final Backgammon tactics to complete your game.
The Priming Game Plan
If the aim of the blocking strategy is to hamper the opponents ability to shift their checkers, the Priming Game plan is to completely barricade any activity of the opponent by constructing a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The opponent’s checkers will either get hit, or end up in a bad position if he/she 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. Once you have successfully constructed the prime to prevent the movement of the opponent, your competitor does not even get to toss the dice, that means you move your chips and toss the dice again. You’ll win the game for sure.
The Back Game Strategy
The aims of the Back Game technique and the Blocking Game technique are similar – to harm your opponent’s positions with hope to better your chances of winning, however the Back Game technique utilizes different tactics to do that. The Back Game strategy is frequently used when you’re far behind your competitor. To compete in Backgammon with this tactic, you have to control 2 or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This tactic is more challenging than others to play in Backgammon seeing as it requires careful movement of your chips and how the pieces are relocated is partially the outcome of the dice roll.
