As we dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a casino game of skill and pure luck. The aim is to shift your chips carefully around the game board to your home board and at the same time your opposition shifts their pieces toward their home board in the opposing direction. With opposing player pieces heading in opposite directions there is going to be conflict and the requirement for particular strategies at particular times. Here are the last 2 Backgammon strategies to round out your game.
The Priming Game Plan
If the goal of the blocking strategy is to hamper the opponents ability to shift his checkers, the Priming Game plan is to absolutely barricade any movement of the opposing player by building a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor’s chips will either get hit, or result a bad position if she at all tries to leave the wall. The trap of the prime can be setup anyplace between point two and point 11 in your half of the board. Once you’ve successfully assembled the prime to stop the activity of the opponent, your opponent does not even get a chance to toss the dice, that means you shift your checkers and toss the dice yet again. You’ll win the game for sure.
The Back Game Tactic
The goals of the Back Game tactic and the Blocking Game plan are very similar – to hurt your competitor’s positions hoping to better your chances of succeeding, however the Back Game tactic uses seperate tactics to achieve that. The Back Game technique is frequently utilized when you are far behind your competitor. To participate in Backgammon with this plan, you have to control 2 or more points in table, and to hit a blot (a single checker) late in the game. This strategy is more challenging than others to employ in Backgammon because it requires careful movement of your chips and how the pieces are relocated is partially the result of the dice toss.
