As we have dicussed in the previous article, Backgammon is a game of ability and good luck. The aim is to shift your checkers safely around the board to your home board while at the same time your opposition shifts their chips toward their inside board in the opposite direction. With opposing player chips shifting in opposing directions there is bound to be conflict and the requirement for specific techniques at particular times. Here are the two final Backgammon techniques to round out your game.
The Priming Game Plan
If the purpose of the blocking tactic is to slow down the opponent to shift his pieces, the Priming Game strategy is to completely stop any movement of the opponent by building a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor’s chips will either get hit, or end up in a bad position if she at all tries to escape the wall. The trap of the prime can be setup anywhere between point 2 and point eleven in your game board. Once you’ve successfully assembled the prime to prevent the movement of the competitor, the opponent doesn’t even get to roll the dice, and you move your checkers and roll the dice again. You will win the game for sure.
The Back Game Technique
The objectives of the Back Game strategy and the Blocking Game tactic are similar – to harm your competitor’s positions in hope to improve your odds of succeeding, however the Back Game plan utilizes seperate tactics to do that. The Back Game plan is frequently utilized when you’re far behind your opponent. To participate in Backgammon with this strategy, you need to control 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 use in Backgammon seeing as it requires careful movement of your checkers and how the pieces are relocated is partially the result of the dice roll.
