As we have dicussed in the previous article, Backgammon is a casino game of talent and luck. The aim is to shift your chips safely around the game board to your inside board and at the same time your opponent shifts their checkers toward their home board in the opposite direction. With opposing player checkers heading in opposing directions there is bound to be conflict and the requirement for particular tactics at particular instances. Here are the last 2 Backgammon strategies to round out your game.
The Priming Game Plan
If the aim of the blocking plan is to hamper the opponents ability to shift her pieces, the Priming Game plan is to absolutely barricade any activity of the opposing player by building a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor’s pieces will either get hit, or result a bad position if she at all attempts to leave the wall. The ambush of the prime can be setup anywhere between point two and point 11 in your half of the board. Once you have successfully constructed the prime to block the movement of your competitor, the opponent does not even get a chance to toss the dice, that means you move your checkers and roll the dice again. You will win the game for sure.
The Back Game Tactic
The aims of the Back Game plan and the Blocking Game technique are similar – to hinder your competitor’s positions hoping to improve your odds of winning, however the Back Game technique utilizes seperate tactics to do that. The Back Game technique is generally utilized when you’re far behind your opponent. To play Backgammon with this technique, you have to hold two or more points in table, and to hit a blot (a single piece) late in the game. This strategy is more challenging than others to use in Backgammon seeing as it needs careful movement of your checkers and how the checkers are relocated is partially the result of the dice roll.
