As we have dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a game of skill and good luck. The aim is to move your checkers safely around the board to your home board and at the same time your opposition moves their chips toward their inner board in the opposite direction. With opposing player checkers moving in opposite directions there is bound to be conflict and the requirement for specific techniques at particular instances. Here are the last 2 Backgammon techniques to complete your game.
The Priming Game Tactic
If the aim of the blocking strategy is to hamper the opponents ability to shift their pieces, the Priming Game tactic is to absolutely stop any movement of the opponent by building a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The opponent’s checkers will either get bumped, or result a damaged position if he/she at all attempts to leave the wall. The ambush of the prime can be built anywhere between point 2 and point eleven in your board. After you have successfully assembled the prime to stop the activity of the opponent, the opponent doesn’t even get to roll the dice, that means you shift your chips and roll the dice again. You’ll win the game for sure.
The Back Game Technique
The aims of the Back Game plan and the Blocking Game plan are similar – to hurt your opponent’s positions hoping to improve your odds of winning, but the Back Game plan relies on different techniques to do that. The Back Game tactic is generally used when you are far behind your opponent. To play Backgammon with this tactic, you have to hold two or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This strategy is more challenging than others to use in Backgammon because it requires careful movement of your pieces and how the pieces are relocated is partly the result of the dice roll.
