As we have dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a game of talent and pure luck. The aim is to shift your pieces safely around the board to your home board and at the same time your opponent moves their chips toward their home board in the opposite direction. With competing player pieces moving in opposing directions there is going to be conflict and the requirement for particular tactics at specific times. Here are the last 2 Backgammon strategies to complete your game.
The Priming Game Plan
If the aim of the blocking tactic is to hamper the opponents ability to move her pieces, the Priming Game plan is to absolutely barricade any activity of the opposing player by creating a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The opponent’s pieces will either get hit, or result a damaged position if she ever tries to escape the wall. The ambush of the prime can be setup anywhere between point 2 and point eleven in your half of the board. As soon as you have successfully built the prime to stop the activity of the opponent, your competitor does not even get a chance to toss the dice, and you move your checkers and roll the dice yet again. You’ll be a winner for sure.
The Back Game Tactic
The goals of the Back Game technique and the Blocking Game strategy are similar – to harm your opponent’s positions with hope to boost your chances of winning, however the Back Game strategy utilizes seperate techniques to do that. The Back Game technique is often utilized when you are far behind your opponent. To play Backgammon with this strategy, you have to hold 2 or more points in table, and to hit a blot (a single checker) late in the game. This tactic is more challenging than others to play in Backgammon seeing as it requires careful movement of your pieces and how the pieces are moved is partly the outcome of the dice toss.
