As we dicussed in the previous article, Backgammon is a game of talent and good luck. The aim is to move your chips carefully around the board to your home board and at the same time your opposition shifts their checkers toward their inside board in the opposing direction. With competing player pieces shifting in opposing directions there is going to be conflict and the requirement for specific tactics at specific instances. Here are the two final Backgammon strategies to finish off your game.
The Priming Game Tactic
If the goal of the blocking tactic is to hamper the opponents ability to shift her pieces, the Priming Game plan is to absolutely block any movement of the opponent by constructing a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor’s checkers will either get bumped, or result a damaged position if he/she at all attempts to escape the wall. The ambush of the prime can be built anyplace between point 2 and point 11 in your board. As soon as you’ve successfully constructed the prime to prevent the activity of your opponent, the competitor doesn’t even get a chance to roll the dice, and you shift your pieces and roll the dice again. You’ll be a winner for sure.
The Back Game Strategy
The goals of the Back Game tactic and the Blocking Game technique are similar – to hurt your competitor’s positions hoping to better your chances of winning, but the Back Game tactic utilizes different techniques to do that. The Back Game technique is generally utilized when you’re far behind your opponent. To participate in Backgammon with this plan, you have to control 2 or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This plan is more complex than others to employ in Backgammon seeing as it requires careful movement of your chips and how the chips are moved is partly the outcome of the dice roll.
