As we dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a game of talent and pure luck. The aim is to move your chips carefully around the board to your inner board while at the same time your opposition shifts their pieces toward their inside board in the opposing direction. With competing player checkers heading in opposing directions there is going to be conflict and the requirement for specific strategies at specific times. Here are the two final Backgammon plans to round out your game.
The Priming Game Plan
If the purpose of the blocking strategy is to slow down the opponent to shift their checkers, the Priming Game strategy is to absolutely block any movement of the opponent by constructing a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor’s pieces will either get bumped, or result a bad position if he at all attempts to leave the wall. The ambush of the prime can be built anywhere between point 2 and point eleven in your board. Once you have successfully built the prime to stop the activity of your competitor, your opponent does not even get a chance to roll the dice, and you shift your chips and toss the dice again. You’ll win the game for sure.
The Back Game Tactic
The objectives of the Back Game tactic and the Blocking Game technique are similar – to hurt your opponent’s positions in hope to better your odds of succeeding, however the Back Game plan relies on different techniques to do that. The Back Game strategy is frequently used when you are far behind your competitor. To participate in Backgammon with this strategy, you need to hold 2 or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This tactic is more complex than others to play in Backgammon seeing as it requires careful movement of your chips and how the checkers are moved is partly the result of the dice roll.
