As we have dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a casino game of ability and pure luck. The aim is to move your pieces carefully around the game 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 pieces moving in opposing directions there is bound to be conflict and the requirement for specific strategies at specific times. Here are the 2 final Backgammon plans to finish off your game.
The Priming Game Tactic
If the aim of the blocking strategy is to slow down the opponent to move his chips, the Priming Game plan is to absolutely barricade any movement of the opposing player by creating a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The opponent’s chips will either get hit, or result a damaged position if she at all attempts to escape the wall. The ambush of the prime can be established anyplace between point two and point eleven in your game board. After you’ve successfully constructed the prime to stop the movement of the opponent, the opponent doesn’t even get a chance to toss the dice, and you move your chips and roll the dice yet again. You’ll be a winner for sure.
The Back Game Technique
The objectives of the Back Game strategy and the Blocking Game plan are similar – to harm your competitor’s positions with hope to improve your chances of succeeding, however the Back Game technique relies on seperate techniques to achieve that. The Back Game plan is frequently used when you are far behind your competitor. To participate in Backgammon with this tactic, you have to control two or more points in table, and to hit a blot (a single checker) 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 pieces are moved is partially the result of the dice roll.
