As we have dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a casino game of talent and pure luck. The goal is to shift your checkers safely around the board to your home board while at the same time your opposing player moves their pieces toward their inner board in the opposing direction. With opposing player chips moving in opposite directions there is bound to be conflict and the need for particular techniques at particular instances. Here are the last 2 Backgammon strategies to complete your game.
The Priming Game Tactic
If the purpose of the blocking strategy is to slow down the opponent to shift his checkers, the Priming Game plan is to completely barricade any movement of the opponent by assembling a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor’s checkers will either get hit, or end up in a bad position if she ever tries to escape the wall. The trap of the prime can be setup anyplace between point two and point eleven in your half of the board. After you’ve successfully built the prime to stop the activity of the opponent, your competitor doesn’t even get to toss the dice, and you move your pieces and roll the dice again. You will be a winner for sure.
The Back Game Tactic
The objectives of the Back Game plan and the Blocking Game strategy are similar – to hinder your opponent’s positions hoping to boost your odds of succeeding, but the Back Game tactic uses seperate techniques to do that. The Back Game plan is often employed when you are far behind your competitor. To participate in Backgammon with this plan, you need to control 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 seeing as it needs careful movement of your pieces and how the chips are moved is partly the outcome of the dice roll.
