As we have dicussed in the previous article, Backgammon is a game of skill and luck. The goal is to move your chips safely around the board to your home board while at the same time your opposing player shifts their checkers toward their home board in the opposing direction. With competing player checkers shifting in opposite directions there is bound to be conflict and the requirement for specific strategies at particular times. Here are the last 2 Backgammon techniques to round out your game.
The Priming Game Strategy
If the goal of the blocking tactic is to hamper the opponents ability to shift their chips, the Priming Game strategy is to absolutely stop any activity of the opposing player by creating a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The opponent’s checkers will either get hit, or end up in a bad position if he at all attempts to leave the wall. The trap of the prime can be established anyplace between point 2 and point eleven in your game board. After you’ve successfully constructed the prime to block the movement of the competitor, the opponent does not even get to roll the dice, and you move your checkers and toss the dice yet again. You’ll be a winner for sure.
The Back Game Plan
The objectives of the Back Game plan and the Blocking Game plan are very similar – to hinder your opponent’s positions in hope to boost your odds of succeeding, however the Back Game plan utilizes different tactics to do that. The Back Game strategy is frequently utilized when you are far behind your competitor. To compete in Backgammon with this tactic, you need to hold 2 or more points in table, and to hit a blot (a single piece) late in the game. This technique is more difficult than others to play in Backgammon seeing as it requires careful movement of your chips and how the chips are moved is partially the result of the dice toss.
