As we have dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a game of ability and good luck. The goal is to shift your pieces carefully around the game board to your inner board while at the same time your opposing player moves their checkers toward their inner board in the opposite direction. With opposing player pieces heading in opposing directions there is going to be conflict and the need for specific tactics at specific instances. Here are the last two Backgammon tactics to finish off your game.
The Priming Game Tactic
If the aim of the blocking strategy is to hamper the opponents ability to move their checkers, the Priming Game plan is to absolutely block any movement of the opponent by constructing a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The opponent’s chips will either get bumped, or end up in a battered position if he at all attempts to escape the wall. The ambush of the prime can be setup anyplace between point 2 and point 11 in your board. After you have successfully assembled the prime to prevent the movement of the competitor, your competitor doesn’t even get to toss the dice, that means you move your chips and toss the dice yet again. You’ll be a winner for sure.
The Back Game Strategy
The goals of the Back Game technique and the Blocking Game technique are similar – to harm your competitor’s positions hoping to improve your odds of succeeding, however the Back Game strategy uses different tactics to do that. The Back Game technique is often employed when you’re far behind your opponent. To participate in Backgammon with this strategy, you need to control 2 or more points in table, and to hit a blot (a single checker) late in the game. This strategy is more complex than others to employ in Backgammon because it needs careful movement of your checkers and how the checkers are relocated is partly the outcome of the dice roll.
