As we dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a casino game of talent and pure luck. The goal is to shift your pieces carefully around the board to your inner board and at the same time your opposing player moves their chips toward their home board in the opposite direction. With competing player pieces heading in opposite directions there is bound to be conflict and the requirement for particular strategies at particular times. Here are the 2 final Backgammon tactics to complete your game.
The Priming Game Tactic
If the aim of the blocking tactic is to slow down the opponent to shift their checkers, the Priming Game tactic is to absolutely block any movement of the opponent by creating a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor’s chips will either get hit, or end up in a battered position if he ever tries to escape the wall. The ambush of the prime can be setup anyplace between point two and point eleven in your half of the board. After you’ve successfully constructed the prime to prevent the movement of the opponent, the competitor doesn’t even get a chance to roll the dice, and you shift your checkers and toss the dice again. You’ll win the game for sure.
The Back Game Plan
The aims of the Back Game technique and the Blocking Game tactic are similar – to harm your competitor’s positions hoping to improve your chances of succeeding, but the Back Game plan utilizes seperate techniques to achieve that. The Back Game plan is generally employed when you are far behind your opponent. To play Backgammon with this tactic, you need to control 2 or more points in table, and to hit a blot (a single checker) late in the game. This plan is more complex than others to play in Backgammon because it needs careful movement of your checkers and how the pieces are relocated is partly the outcome of the dice toss.
