As we have dicussed in the previous article, Backgammon is a game of talent and good luck. The goal is to move your chips carefully around the board to your inside board and at the same time your opposition moves their checkers toward their home board in the opposing direction. With opposing player pieces moving in opposing directions there is going to be conflict and the need for specific tactics at particular times. Here are the last 2 Backgammon techniques to finish off your game.
The Priming Game Strategy
If the purpose of the blocking plan is to hamper the opponents ability to shift her checkers, the Priming Game strategy is to completely block any activity of the opponent by constructing a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor’s pieces will either get bumped, or end up in a bad position if he/she ever tries to escape the wall. The ambush of the prime can be established anywhere between point two and point 11 in your game board. After you’ve successfully constructed the prime to stop the activity of your opponent, your opponent does not even get to toss the dice, that means you move your pieces and toss the dice yet again. You will be a winner for sure.
The Back Game Technique
The goals of the Back Game tactic and the Blocking Game strategy are very similar – to hurt your competitor’s positions with hope to improve your odds of succeeding, but the Back Game plan relies on alternate techniques to do that. The Back Game technique is frequently employed when you’re far behind your opponent. To participate in Backgammon with this plan, you need to control 2 or more points in table, and to hit a blot (a single checker) late in the game. This technique is more complex than others to employ in Backgammon seeing as it requires careful movement of your chips and how the checkers are moved is partly the outcome of the dice toss.
