As we have dicussed in the previous article, Backgammon is a casino game of talent and pure luck. The goal is to move your chips carefully around the board to your inner board while at the same time your opposition moves their chips toward their home board in the opposing direction. With competing player checkers shifting in opposing directions there is bound to be conflict and the requirement for particular strategies at particular times. Here are the last two Backgammon strategies to round out your game.
The Priming Game Plan
If the purpose of the blocking tactic is to hamper the opponents ability to shift their chips, the Priming Game tactic is to absolutely block any activity of the opponent by creating a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor’s checkers will either get bumped, or result a battered position if he at all attempts to leave the wall. The ambush of the prime can be established anywhere between point 2 and point 11 in your game board. After you have successfully built the prime to prevent the activity of your opponent, your competitor doesn’t even get a chance to toss the dice, that means you shift your pieces and toss the dice yet again. You’ll win the game for sure.
The Back Game Technique
The aims of the Back Game technique and the Blocking Game technique are similar – to hurt your competitor’s positions hoping to better your odds of succeeding, but the Back Game plan uses different tactics to achieve that. The Back Game tactic is generally employed when you are far behind your opponent. To play Backgammon with this technique, you need to control two or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This tactic is more complex than others to play in Backgammon because it requires careful movement of your chips and how the pieces are relocated is partly the outcome of the dice roll.
