As we have dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a casino game of talent and good luck. The aim is to move your checkers safely around the game board to your home board while at the same time your opponent shifts their checkers toward their inside board in the opposite direction. With competing player pieces moving 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 Tactic
If the goal of the blocking tactic is to slow down the opponent to shift his checkers, the Priming Game plan is to absolutely block any movement of the opponent by creating a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The opponent’s checkers will either get bumped, or result a damaged position if he at all attempts to leave the wall. The ambush of the prime can be setup anyplace between point two and point eleven in your half of the board. Once you’ve successfully built the prime to stop the movement of your opponent, the competitor doesn’t even get a chance to roll the dice, and you move your checkers and toss the dice again. You will be a winner for sure.
The Back Game Strategy
The goals of the Back Game strategy and the Blocking Game plan are similar – to harm your opponent’s positions with hope to improve your chances of winning, however the Back Game strategy uses seperate techniques to do that. The Back Game plan is generally used when you’re far behind your competitor. To compete in Backgammon with this technique, you have to hold two or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This tactic is more difficult than others to use in Backgammon because it needs careful movement of your checkers and how the pieces are relocated is partly the outcome of the dice toss.
