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 board to your home board while at the same time your opposition moves their pieces toward their inner board in the opposite direction. With competing player chips shifting in opposite directions there is bound to be conflict and the need for specific techniques at specific times. Here are the last two Backgammon tactics to finish off your game.
The Priming Game Tactic
If the aim of the blocking tactic is to slow down the opponent to move his pieces, the Priming Game plan is to absolutely barricade any activity of the opponent by assembling a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The opponent’s pieces will either get bumped, or result a battered position if she ever attempts to escape the wall. The trap of the prime can be setup anyplace between point 2 and point 11 in your half of the board. After you’ve successfully assembled the prime to block the activity of the opponent, your competitor does not even get a chance to roll the dice, that means you shift your checkers and roll the dice yet again. You will be a winner for sure.
The Back Game Technique
The goals of the Back Game strategy and the Blocking Game plan are very similar – to hurt your competitor’s positions hoping to improve your chances of succeeding, but the Back Game plan utilizes alternate tactics to achieve that. The Back Game plan is often utilized when you’re far behind your competitor. To participate in Backgammon with this tactic, you have to hold 2 or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This tactic is more challenging than others to play in Backgammon because it requires careful movement of your pieces and how the chips are moved is partially the result of the dice toss.
