As we dicussed in the previous article, Backgammon is a casino game of talent and luck. The goal is to shift your checkers carefully around the game board to your inside board while at the same time your opposing player moves their chips toward their inside board in the opposing direction. With opposing player checkers heading in opposite directions there is bound to be conflict and the need for particular tactics at particular instances. Here are the last 2 Backgammon techniques to round out your game.
The Priming Game Tactic
If the purpose of the blocking strategy is to slow down the opponent to shift their chips, the Priming Game plan is to absolutely block any movement of the opposing player by creating a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The opponent’s checkers will either get bumped, or end up in a damaged position if she ever attempts to escape the wall. The ambush of the prime can be built anyplace between point two and point eleven in your game board. After you have successfully assembled the prime to stop the movement of your competitor, your opponent doesn’t even get to toss the dice, and you shift your checkers and roll the dice again. You’ll be a winner for sure.
The Back Game Plan
The aims of the Back Game plan and the Blocking Game technique are similar – to harm your competitor’s positions with hope to improve your odds of succeeding, however the Back Game technique utilizes different techniques to achieve that. The Back Game plan is generally used when you’re far behind your opponent. To participate in Backgammon with this tactic, you need to control 2 or more points in table, and to hit a blot (a single checker) late in the game. This technique is more difficult than others to play in Backgammon seeing as it needs careful movement of your chips and how the checkers are moved is partly the result of the dice toss.
