As we have dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a game of skill and good luck. The aim is to move your chips safely around the board to your inside board while at the same time your opposing player moves their checkers toward their inside board in the opposite direction. With opposing player pieces shifting in opposite directions there is bound to be conflict and the requirement for specific techniques at particular times. Here are the two final Backgammon strategies to complete your game.
The Priming Game Tactic
If the purpose of the blocking tactic is to slow down the opponent to move his chips, the Priming Game plan is to completely block any activity of the opposing player by constructing a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor’s checkers will either get hit, or result a battered position if she ever attempts to leave the wall. The ambush of the prime can be established anyplace between point two and point eleven in your game board. After you’ve successfully built the prime to stop the movement of your competitor, your opponent does not even get to roll the dice, and you move your chips and roll the dice again. You’ll be a winner for sure.
The Back Game Technique
The goals of the Back Game plan and the Blocking Game technique are similar – to hinder your opponent’s positions hoping to boost your chances of succeeding, however the Back Game technique uses alternate tactics to achieve that. The Back Game tactic is often employed when you are 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 complex than others to employ in Backgammon seeing as it needs careful movement of your checkers and how the pieces are relocated is partially the outcome of the dice toss.
