As we have dicussed in the previous article, Backgammon is a casino game of ability and luck. The aim is to move your pieces safely around the game board to your inside board and at the same time your opposition shifts their chips toward their inside board in the opposite direction. With competing player chips shifting in opposing directions there is bound to be conflict and the requirement for particular tactics at specific instances. Here are the two final Backgammon techniques to complete your game.
The Priming Game Plan
If the aim of the blocking plan is to slow down the opponent to move his chips, the Priming Game plan is to completely stop any movement of the opposing player by assembling a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The opponent’s checkers will either get bumped, or end up in a bad position if she at all tries to escape the wall. The trap of the prime can be setup anyplace between point 2 and point eleven in your half of the board. After you’ve successfully built the prime to prevent the movement of your opponent, your opponent doesn’t even get a chance to toss the dice, that means you shift your pieces and toss the dice again. You will be a winner for sure.
The Back Game Tactic
The goals of the Back Game strategy and the Blocking Game plan are similar – to harm your competitor’s positions hoping to better your odds of winning, but the Back Game plan uses different tactics to do that. The Back Game plan is often utilized when you’re far behind your competitor. To play Backgammon with this plan, you need to control 2 or more points in table, and to hit a blot (a single piece) late in the game. This strategy is more complex than others to use in Backgammon because it requires careful movement of your checkers and how the chips are moved is partially the result of the dice roll.
