The Essential Facts of Backgammon Strategies – Part 2

[ English ]

As we have dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a casino game of talent and pure luck. The aim is to shift your chips safely around the game board to your inner board and at the same time your opposition moves their chips toward their inner board in the opposing direction. With competing player chips moving in opposing directions there is going to be conflict and the need for specific techniques at specific instances. Here are the last 2 Backgammon plans to complete your game.

The Priming Game Tactic

If the aim of the blocking tactic is to hamper the opponents ability to shift their checkers, the Priming Game strategy is to completely block any activity of the opponent by creating a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor’s chips will either get bumped, or end up in a bad position if he/she at all tries to leave the wall. The trap of the prime can be setup anywhere between point 2 and point eleven in your half of the board. As soon as you’ve successfully built the prime to prevent the movement of the competitor, your opponent doesn’t even get a chance to toss the dice, that means you shift your chips and roll the dice again. You will be a winner for sure.

The Back Game Technique

The objectives of the Back Game plan and the Blocking Game strategy are similar – to harm your opponent’s positions hoping to improve your chances of winning, but the Back Game plan uses different techniques to do that. The Back Game tactic is frequently employed when you are far behind your opponent. To play Backgammon with this tactic, you need to control two or more points in table, and to hit a blot (a single piece) late in the game. This tactic is more challenging than others to play in Backgammon because it requires careful movement of your checkers and how the checkers are relocated is partly the outcome of the dice roll.
