As we dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a game of talent and good luck. The aim is to shift your pieces carefully around the game board to your inner board while at the same time your opposing player moves their pieces toward their inner board in the opposing direction. With opposing player checkers shifting in opposing directions there is bound to be conflict and the requirement for specific techniques at particular times. Here are the two final Backgammon tactics to round out your game.
The Priming Game Strategy
If the purpose of the blocking tactic is to hamper the opponents ability to shift her chips, the Priming Game plan is to absolutely block any activity of the opponent by assembling a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The opponent’s chips will either get bumped, or end up in a damaged position if he at all attempts to leave the wall. The trap of the prime can be built anywhere between point two and point 11 in your game board. After you’ve successfully built the prime to prevent the movement of the opponent, your competitor does not even get to roll the dice, and you shift your chips and toss the dice yet again. You will be a winner for sure.
The Back Game Tactic
The objectives of the Back Game tactic and the Blocking Game strategy are similar – to harm your opponent’s positions in hope to improve your odds of succeeding, however the Back Game technique uses alternate techniques to do that. The Back Game technique is frequently utilized when you’re far behind your opponent. To play Backgammon with this tactic, you need to hold two or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This tactic is more challenging than others to play in Backgammon seeing as it needs careful movement of your checkers and how the pieces are relocated is partially the result of the dice toss.
