As we dicussed in the previous article, Backgammon is a game of skill and good luck. The goal is to move your checkers carefully around the board to your inner board and at the same time your opponent shifts their pieces toward their inner board in the opposite direction. With competing player checkers shifting in opposing directions there is bound to be conflict and the requirement for particular strategies at specific instances. Here are the two final Backgammon techniques to finish off your game.
The Priming Game Plan
If the purpose of the blocking strategy is to slow down the opponent to move his checkers, the Priming Game tactic is to completely barricade any movement of the opponent by building a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor’s checkers will either get hit, or end up in a bad position if he/she at all tries to escape the wall. The ambush of the prime can be established anywhere between point two and point eleven in your game board. After you’ve successfully assembled the prime to block the movement of your opponent, your competitor doesn’t even get to roll the dice, and you shift your checkers and roll the dice yet again. You’ll be a winner for sure.
The Back Game Strategy
The objectives of the Back Game tactic and the Blocking Game plan are very similar – to hurt your competitor’s positions hoping to improve your chances of succeeding, however the Back Game strategy uses alternate tactics to do that. The Back Game strategy is commonly utilized when you’re far behind your opponent. To play Backgammon with this strategy, you have to hold two or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This tactic is more complex than others to use in Backgammon seeing as it needs careful movement of your pieces and how the checkers are moved is partially the result of the dice toss.
