As we have dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a game of talent and luck. The aim is to move your pieces carefully around the game board to your inner board and at the same time your opposing player moves their checkers toward their inner board in the opposite direction. With competing player pieces shifting in opposite directions there is bound to be conflict and the need for particular strategies at specific instances. Here are the two final Backgammon strategies to complete your game.
The Priming Game Strategy
If the goal of the blocking plan is to slow down the opponent to shift her checkers, the Priming Game strategy is to completely block any activity of the opponent by building a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The opponent’s chips will either get hit, or result a bad position if he/she ever tries to escape the wall. The trap of the prime can be established anyplace between point 2 and point 11 in your game board. As soon as you’ve successfully constructed the prime to block the movement of the opponent, your opponent does not even get to toss the dice, that means you move your checkers and toss the dice again. You will win the game for sure.
The Back Game Plan
The goals of the Back Game technique and the Blocking Game strategy are similar – to hinder your opponent’s positions in hope to better your odds of succeeding, but the Back Game tactic uses alternate tactics to do that. The Back Game plan is generally used when you are far behind your opponent. To play Backgammon with this technique, you have to hold two or more points in table, and to hit a blot (a single piece) late in the game. This plan is more challenging than others to play in Backgammon seeing as it needs careful movement of your pieces and how the chips are moved is partly the outcome of the dice roll.
