As we have dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a game of talent and luck. The aim is to move your chips carefully around the board to your home board and at the same time your opposition moves their checkers toward their inside board in the opposite direction. With opposing player checkers heading in opposing directions there is going to be conflict and the need for particular techniques at particular times. Here are the two final Backgammon techniques to finish off your game.
The Priming Game Tactic
If the goal of the blocking plan is to hamper the opponents ability to shift their checkers, the Priming Game plan is to absolutely stop any movement of the opposing player by constructing a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The opponent’s checkers will either get bumped, or end up in a bad position if she at all tries to leave the wall. The trap of the prime can be setup anywhere between point two and point eleven in your half of the board. As soon as you’ve successfully assembled the prime to prevent the activity of the opponent, the opponent doesn’t even get a chance to toss the dice, that means you move your checkers and toss the dice again. You will win the game for sure.
The Back Game Tactic
The goals of the Back Game strategy and the Blocking Game plan are very similar – to hinder your competitor’s positions with hope to boost your chances of succeeding, however the Back Game plan relies on different tactics to achieve that. The Back Game technique is frequently utilized when you are far behind your competitor. To participate in Backgammon with this plan, you need to hold 2 or more points in table, and to hit a blot (a single checker) late in the game. This strategy is more difficult than others to use in Backgammon seeing as it requires careful movement of your chips and how the checkers are moved is partly the outcome of the dice roll.
