As we have dicussed in the previous article, Backgammon is a game of skill and pure luck. The goal is to move your pieces safely around the game board to your inside board while at the same time your opposition moves their chips toward their inner board in the opposing direction. With competing player pieces moving in opposing directions there is bound to be conflict and the requirement for particular techniques at particular instances. Here are the last two Backgammon plans to complete your game.
The Priming Game Strategy
If the purpose of the blocking plan is to slow down the opponent to move her checkers, the Priming Game strategy is to completely stop any activity of the opponent by assembling a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor’s checkers will either get hit, or end up in a battered position if she at all attempts to escape the wall. The trap of the prime can be built anywhere between point 2 and point 11 in your game board. As soon as you’ve successfully built the prime to prevent the activity of the opponent, your opponent doesn’t even get a chance to roll the dice, that means you shift your chips and toss the dice yet again. You’ll be a winner for sure.
The Back Game Plan
The goals of the Back Game technique and the Blocking Game technique are similar – to hinder your opponent’s positions in hope to better your odds of winning, but the Back Game strategy relies on seperate techniques to achieve that. The Back Game technique is frequently employed when you’re far behind your opponent. To play Backgammon with this tactic, you have to control 2 or more points in table, and to hit a blot (a single piece) late in the game. This tactic is more difficult than others to use in Backgammon because it needs careful movement of your checkers and how the chips are relocated is partially the result of the dice roll.
