As we dicussed in the previous article, Backgammon is a game of skill and good luck. The aim is to shift your pieces carefully around the board to your inside board and at the same time your opposing player moves their checkers toward their home board in the opposing direction. With competing player pieces moving 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 round out your game.
The Priming Game Plan
If the goal of the blocking plan is to slow down the opponent to move his chips, the Priming Game plan is to completely barricade any activity of the opposing player by assembling a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor’s chips will either get bumped, or result a damaged position if he/she ever attempts to escape the wall. The trap of the prime can be built anywhere between point 2 and point 11 in your half of the board. As soon as you’ve successfully constructed the prime to block the movement of the opponent, your opponent does not even get a chance to toss the dice, that means you shift your checkers and roll the dice again. You’ll be a winner for sure.
The Back Game Technique
The objectives of the Back Game plan and the Blocking Game technique are very similar – to hurt your competitor’s positions with hope to boost your odds of succeeding, however the Back Game technique utilizes seperate tactics to achieve that. The Back Game plan is often utilized when you’re far behind your opponent. To participate in Backgammon with this tactic, 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 challenging than others to employ in Backgammon because it needs careful movement of your chips and how the chips are relocated is partly the result of the dice toss.
