As we have dicussed in the previous article, Backgammon is a game of skill and luck. The goal is to shift your checkers carefully around the board to your inner board while at the same time your opposition shifts their checkers toward their home board in the opposing direction. With competing player checkers heading in opposite directions there is bound to be conflict and the requirement for particular techniques at specific times. Here are the 2 final Backgammon techniques to complete your game.
The Priming Game Tactic
If the goal of the blocking strategy is to hamper the opponents ability to shift her chips, the Priming Game strategy is to absolutely barricade any movement of the opposing player by creating a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The opponent’s chips will either get bumped, or end up in a bad position if he/she at all attempts to escape the wall. The ambush of the prime can be established anywhere between point 2 and point 11 in your half of the board. After you’ve successfully assembled the prime to prevent the movement of your competitor, the opponent doesn’t even get to toss the dice, and you move your pieces and toss the dice again. You will be a winner for sure.
The Back Game Technique
The aims of the Back Game plan and the Blocking Game strategy are similar – to hurt your competitor’s positions with hope to improve your chances of succeeding, but the Back Game technique relies on seperate techniques to do that. The Back Game plan is frequently employed when you’re far behind your opponent. To compete in Backgammon with this tactic, you need to hold two or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This plan is more complex than others to play in Backgammon because it needs careful movement of your pieces and how the checkers are relocated is partially the outcome of the dice toss.
