As we dicussed in the previous article, Backgammon is a game of talent and pure luck. The goal is to move your checkers carefully around the game board to your inner board and at the same time your opposition moves their chips toward their home board in the opposite direction. With opposing player pieces moving in opposing directions there is bound to be conflict and the need for particular strategies at specific instances. Here are the last two Backgammon techniques to complete your game.
The Priming Game Strategy
If the aim of the blocking strategy is to slow down the opponent to shift their checkers, the Priming Game strategy is to completely block 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 battered position if he/she ever attempts to escape the wall. The ambush of the prime can be established anywhere between point 2 and point 11 in your game board. As soon as you’ve successfully constructed the prime to block the movement of the opponent, the opponent does not even get a chance to toss the dice, that means you move your checkers and toss the dice again. You’ll win the game for sure.
The Back Game Plan
The objectives of the Back Game technique and the Blocking Game technique are very similar – to hurt your opponent’s positions with hope to boost your odds of succeeding, however the Back Game technique uses seperate techniques to achieve that. The Back Game plan is often used when you’re far behind your opponent. To participate in Backgammon with this plan, you have to hold 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 seeing as it needs careful movement of your chips and how the checkers are relocated is partly the outcome of the dice roll.
