As we dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a game of talent and luck. The goal is to move your checkers safely around the board to your home board while at the same time your opposing player moves their checkers toward their inner board in the opposite direction. With competing player checkers shifting in opposite directions there is going to be conflict and the requirement for particular strategies at specific instances. Here are the last 2 Backgammon strategies to complete your game.
The Priming Game Tactic
If the aim of the blocking tactic is to slow down the opponent to move his chips, the Priming Game strategy is to completely block any movement of the opposing player by building a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor’s checkers will either get bumped, or end up in a damaged position if he/she ever tries to escape the wall. The ambush of the prime can be established anywhere between point two and point eleven in your board. As soon as you have successfully built the prime to stop the activity of your competitor, your opponent doesn’t even get a chance to roll the dice, and you shift your checkers and roll the dice again. You’ll be a winner for sure.
The Back Game Tactic
The objectives of the Back Game tactic and the Blocking Game strategy are very similar – to hurt your competitor’s positions in hope to better your odds of succeeding, however the Back Game tactic relies on seperate tactics to do that. The Back Game tactic is frequently used when you’re far behind your competitor. To play Backgammon with this plan, you need to control two or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This tactic is more challenging than others to employ in Backgammon because it needs careful movement of your pieces and how the checkers are moved is partially the outcome of the dice toss.
