As we have dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a game of skill and pure luck. The aim is to shift your pieces carefully around the game board to your inner board and at the same time your opposing player moves their chips toward their inside board in the opposite direction. With competing player pieces moving in opposite directions there is going to be conflict and the requirement for specific tactics at specific times. Here are the two final Backgammon plans to complete your game.
The Priming Game Strategy
If the aim of the blocking plan is to slow down the opponent to shift their 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 opponent’s checkers will either get hit, or end up in a battered position if she ever tries to leave the wall. The ambush of the prime can be setup anywhere between point 2 and point eleven in your board. Once you have successfully assembled the prime to prevent the movement of the opponent, your opponent doesn’t even get to roll the dice, and you shift your checkers and toss the dice again. You will be a winner for sure.
The Back Game Tactic
The aims of the Back Game strategy and the Blocking Game plan are very similar – to hinder your opponent’s positions in hope to improve your chances of winning, however the Back Game tactic relies on seperate techniques to do that. The Back Game tactic is generally employed 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 tactic is more complex than others to play in Backgammon because it requires careful movement of your pieces and how the pieces are relocated is partly the outcome of the dice toss.
