As we have dicussed in the previous article, Backgammon is a game of talent and pure luck. The goal is to shift your chips safely around the game board to your home board while at the same time your opposing player moves their checkers toward their inner board in the opposing direction. With opposing player pieces moving in opposite directions there is bound to be conflict and the need for specific strategies at specific instances. Here are the two final Backgammon plans to finish off your game.
The Priming Game Strategy
If the purpose of the blocking strategy is to slow down the opponent to shift her pieces, the Priming Game plan is to absolutely stop any activity of the opposing player by assembling a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The opponent’s pieces will either get bumped, or result a damaged position if he at all attempts to leave the wall. The ambush of the prime can be established anyplace between point 2 and point 11 in your game board. After you’ve successfully constructed the prime to stop the activity of your competitor, your opponent doesn’t even get a chance to toss the dice, and you move your checkers and roll the dice yet again. You will win the game for sure.
The Back Game Technique
The aims of the Back Game technique and the Blocking Game tactic are very similar – to hinder your opponent’s positions in hope to boost your chances of winning, however the Back Game strategy uses seperate tactics to achieve that. The Back Game plan is frequently employed when you are far behind your competitor. To play Backgammon with this tactic, you need to hold 2 or more points in table, and to hit a blot (a single checker) late in the game. This technique is more complex than others to use in Backgammon seeing as it needs careful movement of your checkers and how the pieces are relocated is partly the result of the dice roll.
