As we dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a game of ability and good luck. The goal is to move your pieces carefully around the game board to your inside board while at the same time your opposing player shifts their chips toward their inside board in the opposite direction. With opposing player chips moving in opposing directions there is going to be conflict and the requirement for particular tactics at particular times. Here are the 2 final Backgammon techniques to finish off your game.
The Priming Game Tactic
If the purpose of the blocking plan is to hamper the opponents ability to move their checkers, the Priming Game tactic is to completely stop any activity of the opposing player by building a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor’s chips will either get hit, or end up in a battered position if he at all tries to leave the wall. The ambush of the prime can be setup anyplace between point 2 and point 11 in your half of the board. Once you have successfully constructed the prime to prevent the activity of your competitor, your competitor does not even get a chance to roll the dice, that means you move your checkers and toss the dice again. You will win the game for sure.
The Back Game Technique
The aims of the Back Game plan and the Blocking Game technique are similar – to hinder your competitor’s positions in hope to improve your odds of winning, however the Back Game tactic relies on alternate techniques to do that. The Back Game strategy is commonly used when you are far behind your opponent. To participate in Backgammon with this plan, you need to control two or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This technique is more complex than others to play in Backgammon because it needs careful movement of your pieces and how the pieces are relocated is partly the outcome of the dice roll.
