As we have dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a casino game of skill and pure luck. The aim is to shift your checkers carefully around the board to your home board and at the same time your opposition shifts their pieces toward their inner board in the opposing direction. With opposing player pieces moving in opposing directions there is going to be conflict and the requirement for specific strategies at particular times. Here are the 2 final Backgammon techniques to round out your game.
The Priming Game Plan
If the purpose of the blocking strategy is to slow down the opponent to move her checkers, the Priming Game tactic is to absolutely barricade any activity of the opponent by building a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor’s checkers will either get bumped, or end up in a bad position if she at all attempts to escape the wall. The ambush of the prime can be built anyplace between point 2 and point 11 in your board. After you’ve successfully constructed the prime to block the movement of the opponent, your opponent doesn’t even get to toss the dice, and you shift your chips and roll the dice again. You will win the game for sure.
The Back Game Tactic
The objectives of the Back Game tactic and the Blocking Game plan are very similar – to hurt your competitor’s positions in hope to improve your odds of succeeding, however the Back Game strategy utilizes seperate techniques to do that. The Back Game plan is commonly employed when you are far behind your opponent. To play Backgammon with this strategy, you have to hold 2 or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This plan is more complex than others to use in Backgammon seeing as it needs careful movement of your chips and how the pieces are moved is partly the outcome of the dice toss.
