As we have dicussed in the previous article, Backgammon is a game of ability and good luck. The goal is to move your pieces carefully around the game board to your inner board while at the same time your opposing player shifts their checkers toward their inner board in the opposite direction. With opposing player chips moving in opposing directions there is bound to be conflict and the requirement for specific tactics at specific instances. Here are the last 2 Backgammon tactics to complete your game.
The Priming Game Tactic
If the purpose of the blocking strategy is to hamper the opponents ability to move their chips, the Priming Game strategy is to absolutely block any movement of the opponent by constructing a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor’s pieces will either get hit, or result a battered position if he/she at all attempts to escape the wall. The ambush of the prime can be established anyplace between point 2 and point 11 in your game board. Once you’ve successfully built the prime to prevent the movement of the opponent, your competitor doesn’t even get a chance to toss the dice, that means you shift your chips and roll the dice again. You’ll win the game for sure.
The Back Game Plan
The goals of the Back Game tactic and the Blocking Game plan are similar – to hinder your opponent’s positions in hope to improve your chances of succeeding, but the Back Game plan relies on different techniques to do that. The Back Game plan is frequently used when you are far behind your competitor. To play Backgammon with this plan, you have to control 2 or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This strategy is more complex than others to use in Backgammon seeing as it requires careful movement of your chips and how the chips are relocated is partially the result of the dice toss.
