As we have dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a game of ability and pure luck. The goal is to shift your pieces safely around the game board to your inside board while at the same time your opposing player shifts their pieces toward their inside board in the opposing direction. With opposing player pieces heading in opposite directions there is going to be conflict and the need for particular strategies at specific times. Here are the 2 final Backgammon strategies to complete your game.
The Priming Game Plan
If the goal of the blocking strategy is to hamper the opponents ability to move their pieces, the Priming Game plan is to completely barricade any activity of the opponent by constructing a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The opponent’s checkers will either get bumped, or result a bad position if she at all tries to escape the wall. The trap of the prime can be established anywhere between point 2 and point 11 in your board. Once you’ve successfully assembled the prime to block the movement of your opponent, the competitor does not even get a chance to toss the dice, that means you move your chips and toss the dice again. You will be a winner for sure.
The Back Game Strategy
The goals of the Back Game technique and the Blocking Game tactic are similar – to hinder your competitor’s positions in hope to improve your chances of succeeding, but the Back Game strategy utilizes seperate tactics to achieve that. The Back Game tactic is generally employed when you’re far behind your competitor. To compete in Backgammon with this technique, you need to hold two or more points in table, and to hit a blot (a single checker) late in the game. This tactic is more complex than others to employ in Backgammon seeing as it needs careful movement of your pieces and how the chips are relocated is partly the outcome of the dice toss.
