As we have dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a casino game of talent and luck. The goal is to shift your checkers carefully around the game board to your home board and at the same time your opponent shifts their chips toward their inside board in the opposite direction. With opposing player pieces moving in opposite directions there is bound to be conflict and the requirement for particular strategies at particular instances. Here are the 2 final Backgammon techniques to round out your game.
The Priming Game Plan
If the purpose of the blocking strategy is to hamper the opponents ability to shift their pieces, the Priming Game strategy is to completely block any movement of the opposing player by assembling a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor’s chips will either get bumped, or result a battered position if she ever attempts to escape the wall. The ambush of the prime can be established anywhere between point two and point 11 in your game board. As soon as you have successfully constructed the prime to stop the movement of the competitor, the opponent doesn’t even get a chance to toss the dice, that means you move your pieces and toss the dice yet again. You will be a winner for sure.
The Back Game Strategy
The aims of the Back Game tactic and the Blocking Game tactic are very similar – to hurt your competitor’s positions in hope to improve your chances of winning, however the Back Game strategy uses seperate tactics to achieve that. The Back Game tactic is generally employed when you’re far behind your opponent. To participate in Backgammon with this strategy, you need to hold two or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This tactic is more challenging than others to use in Backgammon because it requires careful movement of your chips and how the chips are relocated is partly the result of the dice toss.
