As we dicussed in the previous article, Backgammon is a game of talent and pure luck. The goal is to move your chips safely around the board to your home board and at the same time your opponent moves their chips toward their inside board in the opposing direction. With opposing player pieces shifting in opposing directions there is bound to be conflict and the requirement for specific techniques at particular instances. Here are the last 2 Backgammon techniques to round out your game.
The Priming Game Plan
If the purpose of the blocking plan is to hamper the opponents ability to move their pieces, the Priming Game strategy is to completely block any activity of the opposing player by constructing a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The opponent’s chips will either get bumped, or end up in a damaged position if he ever attempts to leave the wall. The ambush of the prime can be built anywhere between point 2 and point 11 in your half of the board. Once you have successfully assembled the prime to block the movement of your opponent, the competitor does not even get to roll the dice, that means you shift your chips and roll the dice yet again. You will be a winner for sure.
The Back Game Technique
The aims of the Back Game technique and the Blocking Game strategy are very similar – to hinder your opponent’s positions with hope to improve your chances of winning, but the Back Game tactic utilizes seperate tactics to do that. The Back Game plan is commonly employed when you’re far behind your competitor. To participate in Backgammon with this plan, you have to hold two or more points in table, and to hit a blot (a single checker) late in the game. This technique is more challenging than others to use in Backgammon because it needs careful movement of your pieces and how the pieces are moved is partially the outcome of the dice toss.
