As we have dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a game of skill and good luck. The goal is to shift your checkers carefully around the game board to your inside board while at the same time your opposition shifts their pieces toward their inner board in the opposite direction. With opposing player pieces moving in opposite directions there is bound to be conflict and the requirement for specific strategies at specific instances. Here are the two final Backgammon tactics to round out your game.
The Priming Game Plan
If the goal of the blocking plan is to hamper the opponents ability to move her chips, the Priming Game plan is to absolutely block any movement of the opponent by assembling a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The opponent’s checkers will either get bumped, or result a battered position if he at all attempts to leave the wall. The trap of the prime can be established anyplace between point two and point eleven in your game board. As soon as you’ve successfully built the prime to block the movement of your opponent, your competitor does not even get a chance to toss the dice, and you move your pieces and roll the dice again. You’ll win the game for sure.
The Back Game Technique
The goals of the Back Game strategy and the Blocking Game tactic are very similar – to harm your opponent’s positions with hope to better your odds of winning, but the Back Game strategy utilizes different tactics to achieve that. The Back Game technique is generally utilized when you’re far behind your opponent. To compete in Backgammon with this plan, you need to control 2 or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This technique is more challenging than others to employ in Backgammon seeing as it requires careful movement of your checkers and how the pieces are relocated is partly the outcome of the dice toss.
