As we dicussed in the previous article, Backgammon is a game of talent and luck. The goal is to shift your checkers carefully around the game board to your inner board and at the same time your opponent moves their checkers toward their inner board in the opposite direction. With opposing player checkers shifting in opposite directions there is going to be conflict and the requirement for specific techniques at particular instances. Here are the last 2 Backgammon tactics to finish off your game.
The Priming Game Plan
If the purpose of the blocking plan is to slow down the opponent to shift her chips, the Priming Game plan is to completely barricade any movement 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 bad position if she ever tries to leave the wall. The ambush of the prime can be established anyplace between point two and point 11 in your game board. As soon as you’ve successfully constructed the prime to stop the movement of the competitor, your opponent does not even get to toss the dice, that means you move your pieces and toss the dice yet again. You will win the game for sure.
The Back Game Technique
The objectives of the Back Game tactic and the Blocking Game technique are very similar – to harm your opponent’s positions hoping to improve your odds of winning, but the Back Game technique utilizes seperate tactics to do that. The Back Game technique is often used when you’re far behind your opponent. To play Backgammon with this plan, you need to hold two or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This plan is more complex than others to use in Backgammon seeing as it requires careful movement of your pieces and how the chips are moved is partially the outcome of the dice toss.
