As we have dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a game of talent and good luck. The aim is to move your chips safely around the board to your inner board and at the same time your opponent moves their pieces toward their inside board in the opposite direction. With opposing player pieces heading in opposite directions there is going to be conflict and the need for particular tactics at particular times. Here are the last 2 Backgammon techniques to round out your game.
The Priming Game Tactic
If the purpose of the blocking tactic is to slow down the opponent to shift his pieces, the Priming Game tactic is to completely stop any activity of the opponent by assembling a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor’s chips will either get hit, or end up in a bad position if he/she at all attempts to escape the wall. The trap of the prime can be built anyplace between point 2 and point eleven in your game board. Once you have successfully assembled the prime to prevent the movement of your competitor, your competitor does not even get to toss the dice, that means you shift your checkers and toss the dice yet again. You will be a winner for sure.
The Back Game Strategy
The objectives of the Back Game plan and the Blocking Game technique are similar – to hinder your opponent’s positions in hope to boost your odds of succeeding, however the Back Game strategy relies on seperate tactics to achieve that. The Back Game tactic is commonly utilized when you’re far behind your opponent. To participate in Backgammon with this tactic, you need to hold 2 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 chips and how the chips are moved is partially the result of the dice roll.
