The Basics of Backgammon Strategies – Part Two

[ English ]

As we dicussed in the previous article, Backgammon is a game of talent and pure luck. The goal is to shift your chips carefully around the board to your inside board while at the same time your opposition moves their pieces toward their inner board in the opposing direction. With competing player checkers shifting in opposite directions there is bound to be conflict and the requirement for specific strategies at particular instances. Here are the two final Backgammon plans to round out your game.

The Priming Game Tactic

If the aim of the blocking strategy is to slow down the opponent to shift her chips, the Priming Game tactic is to absolutely stop any activity of the opposing player by creating a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor’s chips will either get hit, or result a battered position if he ever tries to leave the wall. The ambush 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 built the prime to stop the activity of your competitor, the competitor doesn’t even get a chance to toss the dice, that means you move your pieces and toss the dice again. You’ll win the game for sure.

The Back Game Strategy

The goals of the Back Game tactic and the Blocking Game tactic are similar – to harm your opponent’s positions hoping to better your chances of winning, but the Back Game technique relies on seperate techniques to do that. The Back Game technique is frequently employed when you are far behind your opponent. To participate in Backgammon with this technique, you have to hold 2 or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This plan is more difficult than others to use in Backgammon seeing as it needs careful movement of your pieces and how the pieces are moved is partially the result of the dice roll.
