As we have dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a game of skill and luck. The aim is to move your chips safely around the board to your home board while at the same time your opposing player shifts their pieces toward their home board in the opposing direction. With opposing player chips heading in opposing directions there is bound to be conflict and the requirement for specific strategies at particular times. Here are the last two Backgammon techniques to complete your game.
The Priming Game Plan
If the purpose of the blocking tactic is to slow down the opponent to shift her chips, the Priming Game strategy is to completely block any movement of the opponent by creating a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor’s chips will either get hit, or result a battered position if he at all attempts to escape the wall. The ambush of the prime can be setup anywhere between point two and point eleven in your game board. As soon as you have successfully constructed the prime to prevent the activity of the competitor, the opponent doesn’t even get a chance to roll the dice, that means you move your chips and roll the dice again. You’ll be a winner for sure.
The Back Game Plan
The objectives of the Back Game technique and the Blocking Game plan are similar – to hinder your competitor’s positions hoping to better your chances of succeeding, however the Back Game tactic utilizes different techniques to do that. The Back Game plan is generally used when you’re far behind your opponent. To compete in Backgammon with this strategy, you have to control 2 or more points in table, and to hit a blot (a single checker) late in the game. This strategy is more difficult than others to play in Backgammon seeing as it requires careful movement of your checkers and how the checkers are relocated is partially the outcome of the dice toss.
