As we have dicussed in the previous article, Backgammon is a game of ability and luck. The goal is to shift your pieces carefully around the board to your inside board while at the same time your opposing player shifts their pieces toward their inside board in the opposing direction. With opposing player pieces moving in opposite directions there is going to be conflict and the requirement for particular tactics at specific instances. Here are the last 2 Backgammon techniques to complete your game.
The Priming Game Plan
If the goal of the blocking plan is to slow down the opponent to move their checkers, the Priming Game strategy is to absolutely block any movement of the opponent by constructing 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 ever attempts to escape the wall. The trap of the prime can be built anywhere between point two and point eleven in your half of the board. Once you have successfully assembled the prime to stop the activity of your competitor, your competitor does not even get to toss the dice, that means you shift your pieces and roll the dice yet again. You’ll be a winner for sure.
The Back Game Tactic
The aims of the Back Game tactic and the Blocking Game strategy are very similar – to harm your competitor’s positions hoping to improve your odds of winning, but the Back Game technique uses different tactics to achieve that. The Back Game plan is commonly used when you’re far behind your competitor. To play Backgammon with this technique, you need to hold two or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This strategy is more complex than others to play in Backgammon because it needs careful movement of your chips and how the checkers are moved is partially the result of the dice toss.
