As we dicussed in the previous article, Backgammon is a game of skill and pure luck. The aim is to move your chips safely around the board to your home board while at the same time your opponent moves their pieces toward their home board in the opposing direction. With opposing player chips moving in opposite directions there is going to be conflict and the need for particular strategies at particular times. Here are the 2 final Backgammon techniques to round out your game.
The Priming Game Strategy
If the goal of the blocking strategy is to slow down the opponent to shift their pieces, the Priming Game plan is to absolutely block any movement of the opposing player by constructing a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor’s chips will either get hit, or result a damaged position if he at all tries to leave the wall. The trap of the prime can be built anyplace between point 2 and point 11 in your half of the board. After you have successfully constructed the prime to prevent the activity of your competitor, your opponent does not even get to toss the dice, that means you move your pieces and toss the dice yet again. You’ll win the game for sure.
The Back Game Plan
The aims of the Back Game tactic and the Blocking Game plan are very similar – to hinder your opponent’s positions in hope to improve your odds of succeeding, but the Back Game technique relies on seperate tactics to do that. The Back Game technique is generally used 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 (a single checker) late in the game. This plan is more complex than others to use in Backgammon because it needs careful movement of your chips and how the pieces are moved is partly the result of the dice roll.
