As we have dicussed in the previous article, Backgammon is a game of ability and good luck. The goal is to shift your pieces carefully around the board to your inner board and at the same time your opposing player moves their pieces toward their inner board in the opposite direction. With opposing player chips shifting in opposing directions there is bound to be conflict and the need for specific tactics at specific instances. Here are the last 2 Backgammon plans to complete your game.
The Priming Game Plan
If the aim of the blocking plan is to hamper the opponents ability to move her chips, the Priming Game strategy is to absolutely stop any movement of the opponent by building a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The opponent’s pieces will either get bumped, or result a bad position if she at all tries to leave the wall. The trap of the prime can be setup anywhere between point 2 and point eleven in your half of the board. After you have successfully assembled the prime to prevent the movement of the opponent, your opponent does not even get a chance to roll the dice, that means you shift your checkers and roll the dice again. You’ll be a winner for sure.
The Back Game Plan
The goals of the Back Game tactic and the Blocking Game tactic are very similar – to hurt your competitor’s positions hoping to improve your chances of succeeding, but the Back Game technique relies on alternate tactics to do that. The Back Game plan is generally utilized when you’re far behind your opponent. To participate in Backgammon with this technique, you need to hold 2 or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This tactic is more difficult than others to employ in Backgammon because it requires careful movement of your chips and how the chips are moved is partly the outcome of the dice toss.
