As we have dicussed in the previous article, Backgammon is a game of skill and pure luck. The aim is to shift your chips carefully around the game board to your inside board while at the same time your opponent shifts their checkers toward their home board in the opposite direction. With opposing player pieces heading in opposing directions there is going to be conflict and the requirement for particular strategies at specific instances. Here are the last 2 Backgammon plans to round out your game.
The Priming Game Tactic
If the goal of the blocking tactic is to slow down the opponent to shift their chips, the Priming Game tactic is to absolutely barricade any movement of the opposing player by building a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor’s pieces will either get bumped, or result a damaged position if she at all attempts to leave the wall. The ambush of the prime can be built anyplace between point two and point 11 in your half of the board. After you have successfully assembled the prime to stop the activity of your opponent, the opponent doesn’t even get to roll the dice, that means you move your chips and toss the dice again. You’ll win the game for sure.
The Back Game Plan
The aims of the Back Game strategy and the Blocking Game plan are similar – to hurt your opponent’s positions hoping to improve your odds of winning, but the Back Game plan utilizes different tactics to achieve that. The Back Game plan is often employed when you’re far behind your opponent. To participate in Backgammon with this tactic, you need to hold 2 or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This technique is more complex than others to use in Backgammon because it requires careful movement of your chips and how the pieces are moved is partially the outcome of the dice toss.
