As we have dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a game of ability and good luck. The aim is to move your pieces safely around the board to your inner board and at the same time your opposition shifts their checkers toward their inner board in the opposing direction. With competing player chips shifting in opposite directions there is going to be conflict and the requirement for specific techniques at particular instances. Here are the 2 final Backgammon tactics to finish off your game.
The Priming Game Tactic
If the purpose of the blocking tactic is to hamper the opponents ability to shift his checkers, the Priming Game strategy is to absolutely block any movement of the opposing player by assembling a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor’s chips will either get hit, or end up in a damaged position if she at all tries to leave the wall. The ambush of the prime can be built anyplace between point two and point 11 in your board. Once you have successfully built the prime to stop the activity of your opponent, the competitor does not even get to toss the dice, and you move your chips and roll the dice yet again. You’ll win the game for sure.
The Back Game Strategy
The objectives of the Back Game strategy and the Blocking Game technique are similar – to harm your competitor’s positions in hope to better your odds of succeeding, however the Back Game technique uses different tactics to achieve that. The Back Game tactic is commonly used when you’re far behind your opponent. To compete in Backgammon with this tactic, you have to control 2 or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This strategy is more difficult than others to play in Backgammon because it requires careful movement of your pieces and how the chips are moved is partially the result of the dice toss.
