As we have dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a casino game of talent and pure luck. The aim is to shift your chips carefully around the game board to your inner board while at the same time your opposing player shifts their pieces toward their inner board in the opposing direction. With competing player chips shifting in opposing directions there is bound to be conflict and the requirement for specific tactics at particular times. Here are the two final Backgammon plans to finish off your game.
The Priming Game Tactic
If the goal of the blocking strategy is to hamper the opponents ability to move his pieces, the Priming Game strategy is to absolutely stop any activity of the opponent by creating a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor’s checkers will either get hit, or end up in a bad position if he at all attempts to escape the wall. The trap of the prime can be established anyplace between point two and point eleven in your game board. After you’ve successfully assembled the prime to block the movement of the competitor, the opponent doesn’t even get to roll the dice, and you shift your pieces and roll the dice yet again. You will win the game for sure.
The Back Game Plan
The aims of the Back Game strategy and the Blocking Game technique are very similar – to harm your opponent’s positions hoping to boost your chances of winning, but the Back Game strategy relies on different tactics to achieve that. The Back Game tactic is generally employed when you are far behind your competitor. To compete in Backgammon with this plan, you need to control 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 seeing as it needs careful movement of your pieces and how the chips are relocated is partially the result of the dice toss.
