As we dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a game of talent and luck. The goal is to shift your checkers carefully around the board to your inner board and at the same time your opponent shifts their chips toward their home board in the opposite direction. With competing player chips heading in opposing directions there is going to be conflict and the requirement for particular tactics at specific instances. Here are the 2 final Backgammon techniques to finish off your game.
The Priming Game Plan
If the purpose of the blocking strategy is to slow down the opponent to move their chips, the Priming Game tactic is to completely block any activity of the opposing player by creating a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The opponent’s pieces will either get hit, or end up in a bad position if she at all tries to leave the wall. The trap of the prime can be built anywhere between point two and point 11 in your half of the board. After you’ve successfully built the prime to stop the activity of your opponent, your opponent doesn’t even get to toss the dice, that means you shift your chips and roll the dice again. You will win the game for sure.
The Back Game Strategy
The objectives of the Back Game technique and the Blocking Game tactic are similar – to harm your competitor’s positions with hope to boost your chances of winning, but the Back Game tactic uses seperate tactics to achieve that. The Back Game plan is frequently used when you are far behind your opponent. To participate in Backgammon with this strategy, you need to hold two or more points in table, and to hit a blot (a single piece) late in the game. This strategy is more difficult than others to employ in Backgammon because it requires careful movement of your checkers and how the pieces are relocated is partly the result of the dice roll.
