The Essential Facts of Backgammon Tactics – Part Two

[ English ]

As we have dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a casino game of talent and pure luck. The goal is to move your checkers safely around the game board to your home board while at the same time your opposition moves their checkers toward their inner board in the opposing direction. With competing player chips shifting in opposing directions there is bound to be conflict and the requirement for particular strategies at specific instances. Here are the last 2 Backgammon strategies to complete your game.

The Priming Game Tactic

If the aim of the blocking strategy is to slow down the opponent to move their pieces, the Priming Game plan is to completely barricade any activity of the opposing player by creating a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor’s checkers will either get hit, or result a bad position if she ever tries to escape the wall. The trap of the prime can be built anywhere between point two and point 11 in your board. As soon as you’ve successfully assembled the prime to stop the activity of the competitor, your competitor doesn’t even get a chance to toss the dice, and you shift your chips and toss the dice yet again. You will be a winner for sure.

The Back Game Technique

The aims of the Back Game strategy and the Blocking Game strategy are very similar – to hinder your competitor’s positions in hope to improve your odds of succeeding, however the Back Game tactic uses alternate tactics to do that. The Back Game tactic is frequently used when you’re far behind your competitor. To participate in Backgammon with this plan, you need to control two or more points in table, and to hit a blot (a single piece) late in the game. This tactic is more difficult than others to use in Backgammon because it needs careful movement of your chips and how the checkers are relocated is partly the outcome of the dice toss.
