As we have dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a game of talent and pure luck. The aim is to move your checkers carefully around the game board to your inside board while at the same time your opponent moves their chips toward their inner board in the opposing direction. With competing player chips heading in opposing directions there is bound to be conflict and the need for specific strategies at specific instances. Here are the two final Backgammon plans to round out your game.
The Priming Game Tactic
If the goal of the blocking strategy is to slow down the opponent to move her checkers, the Priming Game strategy is to absolutely barricade any activity of the opponent by constructing a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The opponent’s pieces will either get hit, or result a battered position if he/she ever tries to leave the wall. The trap of the prime can be built anywhere between point two and point 11 in your board. After you’ve successfully constructed the prime to block the movement of your competitor, your opponent does not even get a chance to toss the dice, and you shift your chips and roll the dice yet again. You’ll win the game for sure.
The Back Game Plan
The aims of the Back Game plan and the Blocking Game technique are similar – to hinder your opponent’s positions hoping to better your odds of winning, but the Back Game strategy utilizes seperate techniques to achieve that. The Back Game plan is frequently utilized when you are far behind your competitor. To participate in Backgammon with this strategy, you need to control two or more points in table, and to hit a blot (a single checker) late in the game. This plan is more challenging than others to play in Backgammon seeing as it requires careful movement of your pieces and how the chips are moved is partially the outcome of the dice roll.
