As we dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a game of talent and luck. The aim is to move your checkers safely around the game board to your inner board while at the same time your opposing player shifts their pieces toward their home board in the opposing direction. With competing player pieces heading in opposite directions there is bound to be conflict and the requirement for particular techniques at specific times. Here are the last 2 Backgammon plans to finish off your game.
The Priming Game Plan
If the purpose of the blocking plan is to hamper the opponents ability to shift their chips, the Priming Game tactic is to absolutely barricade any activity of the opponent by assembling a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor’s pieces will either get bumped, or end up in a damaged position if he ever tries to escape the wall. The ambush of the prime can be established anywhere between point 2 and point eleven in your half of the board. After you have successfully assembled the prime to block the activity of the opponent, the opponent does not even get a chance to toss the dice, that means you move your chips and toss the dice again. You’ll win the game for sure.
The Back Game Technique
The goals of the Back Game strategy and the Blocking Game tactic are similar – to hinder your opponent’s positions with hope to better your chances of winning, but the Back Game plan utilizes seperate tactics to achieve that. The Back Game strategy is commonly employed when you’re far behind your opponent. To play Backgammon with this tactic, you need to control two or more points in table, and to hit a blot (a single checker) late in the game. This tactic is more complex than others to use in Backgammon because it requires careful movement of your chips and how the chips are relocated is partly the outcome of the dice roll.
