The Essential Facts of Backgammon Strategies – Part 2

As we dicussed in the previous article, Backgammon is a game of ability and good luck. The goal is to shift your chips safely around the board to your inner board while at the same time your opposing player moves their checkers toward their inside board in the opposite direction. With opposing player pieces heading in opposing directions there is going to be conflict and the need for particular strategies at specific times. Here are the last two Backgammon strategies to complete your game.

The Priming Game Strategy

If the goal of the blocking plan is to hamper the opponents ability to shift her checkers, the Priming Game plan is to absolutely stop any activity of the opposing player by constructing a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The opponent’s checkers will either get hit, or end up in a damaged position if he at all attempts to leave the wall. The trap of the prime can be built anywhere between point two and point 11 in your board. Once you have successfully constructed the prime to block the movement of the opponent, the opponent doesn’t even get to toss the dice, and you move your checkers and toss the dice yet again. You’ll be a winner for sure.

The Back Game Technique

The goals of the Back Game plan and the Blocking Game strategy are similar – to harm your opponent’s positions hoping to boost your odds of winning, however the Back Game technique relies on alternate techniques to do that. The Back Game plan is generally utilized when you are far behind your competitor. To play Backgammon with this strategy, you need to control two or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This tactic is more complex than others to play in Backgammon seeing as it requires careful movement of your chips and how the checkers are relocated is partially the outcome of the dice toss.
