As we have dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a game of skill and luck. The goal is to shift your chips carefully around the game board to your inside board while at the same time your opposition shifts their checkers toward their inside board in the opposing direction. With competing player pieces heading in opposite directions there is going to be conflict and the requirement for particular strategies at specific instances. Here are the last two Backgammon techniques to complete your game.
The Priming Game Tactic
If the purpose of the blocking tactic is to hamper the opponents ability to shift their chips, the Priming Game plan is to absolutely 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 damaged position if he at all tries to leave the wall. The trap of the prime can be setup anyplace between point 2 and point eleven in your half of the board. After you’ve successfully constructed the prime to stop the activity of the competitor, the competitor doesn’t even get a chance to toss the dice, and you shift your chips and roll the dice yet again. You will be a winner for sure.
The Back Game Plan
The goals of the Back Game technique and the Blocking Game plan are similar – to harm your opponent’s positions with hope to improve your odds of winning, but the Back Game tactic uses different techniques to do that. The Back Game technique is frequently employed when you are far behind your opponent. To participate in Backgammon with this strategy, you have to hold two or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This tactic is more difficult than others to use in Backgammon because it requires careful movement of your pieces and how the chips are moved is partly the outcome of the dice roll.
