As we dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a game of skill and pure luck. The goal is to shift your pieces carefully around the board to your inside board and at the same time your opposition moves their pieces toward their home board in the opposing direction. With competing player chips moving in opposite directions there is bound to be conflict and the need for particular strategies at specific instances. Here are the last two Backgammon tactics to finish off your game.
The Priming Game Tactic
If the purpose of the blocking tactic is to hamper the opponents ability to shift her checkers, the Priming Game strategy is to absolutely barricade any activity of the opposing player by assembling a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor’s chips will either get bumped, or result a damaged position if she ever attempts to leave the wall. The ambush of the prime can be established anywhere between point 2 and point 11 in your board. As soon as you’ve successfully built the prime to block the movement of the opponent, the competitor does not even get a chance to toss the dice, that means you shift your checkers and toss the dice again. You will be a winner for sure.
The Back Game Plan
The objectives of the Back Game strategy and the Blocking Game plan are similar – to harm your opponent’s positions in hope to boost your chances of winning, but the Back Game tactic relies on seperate techniques to do that. The Back Game technique is commonly used when you’re far behind your competitor. To compete in Backgammon with this strategy, you have to hold 2 or more points in table, and to hit a blot (a single piece) late in the game. This plan is more complex than others to use in Backgammon seeing as it requires careful movement of your pieces and how the pieces are moved is partially the result of the dice roll.
