As we have dicussed in the previous article, Backgammon is a game of skill and pure luck. The aim is to move your pieces safely around the game board to your inside board and at the same time your opposition shifts their pieces toward their inside board in the opposing direction. With competing player chips moving in opposing directions there is bound to be conflict and the requirement for specific tactics at specific instances. Here are the last two Backgammon strategies to complete your game.
The Priming Game Tactic
If the aim of the blocking plan is to hamper the opponents ability to shift her pieces, the Priming Game tactic is to completely barricade any activity of the opposing player by building 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/she ever attempts to leave the wall. The ambush of the prime can be setup anyplace between point two and point 11 in your game board. As soon as you have successfully built the prime to stop the movement of your opponent, the opponent does not even get to roll the dice, and you move your chips and roll the dice yet again. You’ll be a winner for sure.
The Back Game Technique
The goals of the Back Game tactic and the Blocking Game technique are very similar – to harm your opponent’s positions with hope to improve your odds of succeeding, however the Back Game plan relies on alternate tactics to achieve that. The Back Game technique is generally employed when you are far behind your opponent. To participate in Backgammon with this tactic, you have to hold 2 or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This tactic is more challenging than others to use in Backgammon seeing as it needs careful movement of your checkers and how the chips are relocated is partially the outcome of the dice roll.
