As we have dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a game of skill and pure luck. The goal is to shift your checkers safely around the game board to your inside board while at the same time your opposing player shifts their pieces toward their home board in the opposite direction. With opposing player chips shifting in opposite directions there is going to be conflict and the requirement for particular tactics at particular instances. Here are the last two Backgammon tactics to finish off your game.
The Priming Game Plan
If the goal of the blocking strategy is to slow down the opponent to move his pieces, the Priming Game plan is to completely stop any movement of the opponent by constructing a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The opponent’s pieces will either get hit, or result a bad position if he ever attempts to leave the wall. The ambush of the prime can be built anyplace between point 2 and point 11 in your game board. After you have successfully assembled the prime to stop the movement of your competitor, the competitor doesn’t even get to toss the dice, that means you shift your checkers and roll the dice yet again. You’ll win the game for sure.
The Back Game Strategy
The objectives of the Back Game tactic and the Blocking Game technique are similar – to hurt your opponent’s positions hoping to boost your chances of winning, but the Back Game tactic relies on seperate techniques to achieve that. The Back Game technique is frequently utilized when you’re far behind your opponent. To participate in Backgammon with this plan, you have to control two or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This strategy is more difficult than others to employ in Backgammon seeing as it requires careful movement of your pieces and how the chips are moved is partially the result of the dice roll.
